Decatur where its greater
Which sites do you guys use the most and why? Flickr, Google Photos, 500px, Dropbox...? I know most everyone uses IG for exposure so I'll just leave that one out.

I'm trying to decide between which I want to use as my go to online storage site. I use Google photos a lot right now but when it comes to link to sites and such its trash at this. I feel like 500px or Flickr would be better.

I have a flickr that I use as like backup...since it's like a free TB of space. And I use it to share on forums or whatever. I also have a google drive account to store files and share files for client/models to download from. I have 500px, but they've changed their shyt up and the limit your uploads and they're trying to be something different now. I have Amazon prime and I guess they have free unlimited photo storage, so I might look into that as well. I'm also trying to find just a straight up photography forum to post at or something. I'm in a few photography groups on facebook too, to main ones being for TFS shoots with models and off camera flash groups.

ikeep forgetting bout amazon. I might have to start paying money for a cloud service to store RAWS, just to have an additional backup.

this dude on youtube name photomeike just posted a photography vlog from this exact place. Seems like a cool place to shoot.


That's my 2nd time going down to the Salton Sea. First time was 2 years ago and I went to the west side instead of Bombay Beach which is on the east side of the sea. Honestly I think I prefer the west side and Desert Shores. Sounds weird saying it, with the whole area looking like something you'd see in an apocalyptic movie, but I feel like Bombay Beach is the commercialized side with festivals and art shows and the other towns are wastelands.

Found my post from the first time there.


Vacationing in Palm Springs. Went down to the Salton Sea. Like no other place I've ever seen. I felt like I was in a scene from an apocalyptic movie.

The whole area of Palm Springs/Salton Sea/Joshua Tree makes for some real dope photography options. I'm a solo shooter and don't really like shooting people, but you can get some really great photos with models out there.
