Hello All
I was talking about a newsletter at the steam Railway club in Cambridge and I mentioned that I was going to link to there own Flickr page, one member then said don¡¯t use Flickr as it is old school now, if this is the case then can anyone tell me what has replaced it?
To the best of my knowledge, nothing has replaced Flickr, I know I¡¯m still semi-active there, but I¡¯d be a lot more active, if I had time for my photography. ?When I look there is plenty of new content to view. ?If it works for you, use it. ?I saw a couple replies about using Facebook, that¡¯s the absolute worst way to share photographs. ?I have also noticed that the Nikon-DSLR group on Facebook that was started by people on this list is now basically dead.
In addition to Flickr, I use Smug-Mug, but that¡¯s for my commercial site.
There is also Instagram (which is owned by Facebook), and it¡¯s very popular, but it¡¯s also very limiting compared to Flickr. ?I have an account, but I mainly use it for iPod Touch/iPhone photography.
For me the reenacting season is starting up this next weekend. ?While I¡¯ll have my Nikon D800 with my, my primary focus will no longer be photographing the events, it¡¯s going to be doing living history, and talking about the history of Photography, and specifically photography during the Civil War. ?One of the big reasons for this is so that I don¡¯t have so many photographs to process after an event. ?
