Did you ever decide against those hosted solutions your listed in your original post?

Hi Ben, So to give you some ideas on my background before I make my suggestions, my name is Jin more of a hobbyist photographer but very experienced in Web and e-commerce though these days my work takes me more into high availability and cyber security infrastructure. A couple of questions I...

Not that I was a memorable member of the community. So after a very long photographic Hiatus I am back for this year. Currently looking for a once a month challenge to ease myself back in to the world.

Week 5 - Smoke Shot with a Canon 5D MKii using a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 @ 200mm 1/50 secs f/4 ISO: 100

Week 5 - Smoke WHOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!! Almost fell of the wagon there, so I am behind, weeks behind but I won't let myself down. This was always my plan for this shot, though it is not the most original of ideas I do think it is shot a lot better than most of the other similar images I have seen...

Number 2 It is composed well, the focus seems to be in the right place and the expression is entertaining. I would have maybe increased the motion blur of the background just a little bit more as it is a little bit distracting still.

This is a nice idea and photo but because you have essentially painted the light, there seems to be highlights in places that I wouldn't expect it to be in because of that it looks a bit odd, I want to say over-processed but it isn't, it is purely inconsistent highlights. Though it could be my...

This is something fresh other than bugs and flowers. I really really like this image. It almost looks like a convincing advert although I reckon the watch could do with some extra PP to make it stand out just a little more from the background. I gather the surface was a chessboard? Either way...

I would say Mac, I converted in 2012 for a non-photographic reason and to be honest I have never looked back. Even to this day I find a new surprise the my mac that has me quite impressed with the quality of the product. Ultimately it will all come down to money but I do feel the user...

Thanks for your comments. I got quite popular with this one on 500px.com and it has become my favourite shot of all time. My text is more for me than for the community. I plan to turn this 52 week into a photo book for myself to reflect on after this year is over and the text are just so I can...

You are correct. I believe visuals are the same as mathematics in that it doesn't matter your language it's always the same. I am not saying that everyone must like an image even if you stuck to pleasing a target audience you will find people within that group that don't agree. Advertising is...

Thanks. I think this is my first portrait with studio lights.

IMO as someone that takes photos for myself and not for clients: Acceptance is an amalgamation between approval from your demographic and approval from the masses. If you were an artist and you drew a perfect circle in the centre of a blank white canvas and hung it at an art gallery you will...

Thats quite interesting, I was going to photoshop the symmetry in there after noticing the eyebrows but there is a reason why the rotation is like so. The models eyes are ever so slightly wonky so I straightened the image to the eyes thinking that that would be slightly less noticeable. Maybe...
