yeah, the quality there is amazing.

the only think i don't like about 500px is the lack of ability to link directly to the image. i guess that helps keep out the garbage...

How do you mean you can't link directly to the image?

I can see my horse image has the URL: //pcdn.500px.net/25661887/178937851378467c9152b49f67d1d9fa4522891d/4.jpg

And the main link is to the page with it is: //500px.com/photo/25661887

they must have changed it, i could never do that before.
02/11/2013 05:39:15 PM · #306
i still cant grab the link, how did you get it?
02/11/2013 06:26:58 PM · #307
I viewed the source of the page
02/11/2013 06:50:51 PM · #308

Voted for you.

My horse image peeked at 93.2 and was classified as Popular and has now fallen to 82.2. Guess that is my 5 minutes of fame over.

Out of interest, Mike, have you sold any photos via the 500px site? I haven't really spent any time looking to see what the purpose of the site is apart from uploading photos and a few people instantly voting on them. I am sure a lot of the voters are simply voting to attempt to get me to look at their portfolios and I assume to then purchase their prints but I could be wrong. Still I guess the site provides a useful way to get additional feedback on photos.

Here are my top 5 (The ones I like out of my own portfolio). Check them out and vote if you can. I have a bunch of zeros...I wish I knew how to get more views and people looking at my stuff.

nope, none are for sale. they give away a high res version off your image if your sell a print, i'm not big on that.

i use it to find an follow people and get inspiration as well as show off work.

I just started to look into 500px; I wasn't sure if I should keep my Zenfolio account or move over to 500px. After doing a perusal yesterday, and hearing the above about the high resolution giveaway, I'll renew again at Zenfolio for the time being.

from the FAQ:

//500px.com/settings/store/faq

How much do I get from a print or download sale?

You will get $2 from every digital download, and 70% net proceeds from the sale of a canvas print. On average, photographer can expect a payout of $60 per print. The payout may vary depending on different factors ΓΆ€” printing and shipping costs, discount promotions, etc. Payout is calculated individually and is based on market factors.



Are my high-resolution photos safe?

The files you upload are stored securely and used only for the store. High-resolution versions of the photos are used for the canvas prints and are never given to the buyer in the size you uploaded. Users who purchase a Digital copy of your photo get a scaled down 1920x1080px version. Users who purchase a canvas print also get a copy of the 1920x1080px photo.

i don't really have any wallpaper worthy images, so i prefer not to give away my work for $2. I guess some people could use it for making and selling wallpapers.

I'm not looking to be pushed to the front page, or even for votes, but I am shocked to have put this picture up at about 1pm today to only get 2 views.

In the past, I got lots of views with photos right away. Maybe it's this photo, but I'm curious about other's RECENT experience.

That is really bizarre... I put a couple up today and had a flurry...

Maybe I hit a bad time...I deleted it and will retry. Don't know if they frown on that but with 7 views (including no doubt 3-4 from here) it's worth a try.

wow... it's either the time or the photo.

This one had a huge amount immediately and over 100 views in an hour.

//500px.com/photo/25972867

I put this one up about 50 minutes later and it had 8 views in an hour.

//500px.com/photo/25978133

I haven't done this too many times, so I have no feel for how it works...
