A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is Flickr Still Useful? (alien.top)

I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don't mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

It is! As someone who has used it since 2007 I can’t imagine why more don’t. First, there are no ads if you pay. Second, I have access on my phone or any computer to all of my work that I’ve uploaded there in high res that I can download and access anywhere I am. I aggressively tag my shots in Lightroom and those tags are in the metadata and go to Flickr. So I can find any shot based on a simple search. Plus once you find other people who are active it is a very vibrant community.
