500px
500px is a photography community where you can join photo competitions and win prizes. One of the big advantages of 500px over Instagram is that the images are not compressed. This means you don’t need to worry about uploading in a certain aspect ratio and jumping through hoops to maintain image quality – Just upload your photo as is and it will look great. It also means that everyone else’s images look super sharp and crystal clear so it is easy to fall in love with the photos here. To see the latest popular images on 500px, click here.
Before using 500px, you’ll want to make sure you have the best equipment available to take those quality photos. Here is an article that will help you find the perfect lens if you own a Sony e-mount camera. Alternatively, if you are looking for a camera then here’s the perfect article to find one for less than £500.
