500px – The Creative Photography Community

A Chinese Taoist priest blows a ceremonial horn during a ritual. Other than this post, the photo can only be seen at 500px.
When I first started sharing photographs online, photo.net was my place. I was an active member there for quite a few years. That gave way to Flickr which came along with what I thought were better features and options at the time and I eventually started using that more or less exclusively. All good things come to an end and Flickr is no exception. I still post from time to time there, and use the groups option a bit, especially now that I’ve started hosting a weekly photo challenge for my local photography community but that’s about it. For the past year or two, I’ve been mostly without a good place to share and discuss creative photography. That’s all changed now with my discovery of 500px.
