To add to that, Photobucket-quality photos! I absolutely hate seeing perfectly good photographs ruined by Photobucket's terrible compression. No photographers who care about the way their photos look should host anything on that site! Use Flickr, they use a much better method of compression than Photobucket, so the images still look vibrant and crisp even when they are resized and posted on a forum. Here's the proof, the exact same photo hosted on my Photobucket account (which I used to use a few years ago) and on my Flickr account...

Flickr:


See the difference when they're right next to each other? Photobucket's compression makes the image look dull and blurry, like my lens was dirty or I misfocused. Switch now! Photographers have no excuse!

PS: Also, Flickr lets you keep the rights to your image, which apparently Photobucket doesn't.

Yes! Facebook seriously downgrades the photos. So does photobucket. Flickr is better, but adds noise to the photos.

P.S. I actually like a little noise if done in the right setting...

P.S.S. Not sure what happened and why I quoted this but I blame it on just getting my nails done...

Flickr doesn't add noise to images. That's absurd. You must doing it wrong!

Natalie, your point is well taken. I took your advice when I 1st joined TPF, and was using Photobucket as my host service. I switched to Flickr on your advice, and the results were truly dramatic. Thanks again.

Photos of half dome. You know the ones.

Followed by photos from Antelope Canyon. You know the chamber.

Cheesy sayings and bad photoshop effects. Titled anything. Bad composition. Pop up flask look.

Well it's nice to know that I'm classically trained in something.

For some reason this reminds me of what my wife says when people ask her where she wants to go to law school: Barnum and Bailey's School of Law.

Because everyone know the legal system is a circus anyway!
