Best free photo uploading site for photographers?
« on: September 18, 2012, 11:44:41 AM »
Hi all. I am just starting out at photography and wanted to know best free photo uploading site for photographers.  I know some like flickr, shutterfly but your inputs will be deeply appreciated. I am not asking for just any other image hosting site like imageshack/photbucket but those which are being used solely by photographers. The site must show photos in full resolution and should have social networking features among the members so that they can interact.

500px, smugmug.

Thanks Gaurav. I am aware of these 2 sites. smugmug is not free while the basis 500px account lets you upload 10 pics/week. That's why I was looking for a better solution. Any ideas about shutterfly?

don't think smugmug is free. they give you a trial for a limited period, after which you need to buy the service.

500px is best IMO. free with limitation of 10 photos/week, which is enough for me. uploaded photos retain the quality (color, sharpness, clarity etc).

cheers!

Yes, smugmug is not free but offers a 30 day trial. Have heard very good review about it so included.

imageshack.us and flickr.

Imageshack.us:  earlier it was with no limits now a limit of 500 px is there. Its good you could remove the older and non pro ones later.
flickr: limit of 200 photos for free.
