More than that you will have to upgrade to Flickr-Pro for $49.99 per year. It has some benefits but not
sure worth $50.00.

I won't pay. I spent an hour yesterday deleting 950 photos from flickr to be under the 1000 limit. I shoot film anyway, I only use flickr as an adjunct to that.

I don't use Flickr nor Instagram however considering subscribing to one or the other, strictly amateur, no professional work. Difference? Any Preference?


I really like the way your work is displayed on Flickr. To me they just look better.
I feel Instagram is a great location for iPhone shots and not so much for photography.
Just my opinion.

Thanks Jack, appreciate the recommendation/comment. And I doubt I'd ever have a 1000 photos posted at any given time, lordy, probably not even half that number

Doesn't Shutterfly require purchasing books or prints or something?

I'm a Flickr Pro subscriber, and have been for some time. When I first started using Flickr it was when Yahoo! bought it and ended their own photo hosting tool (with a transition from one to the other provided). At that time, Flickr only allowed 200 photos in their free accounts and I already had way more than that to be hosted. The 1TB for free users was a relatively recent accommodation, BTW. At present I have just over 44,000 photos hosted on Flickr and I consider the subscription fee to be very reasonable. I like that others viewing my photos are not bothered by ads, and I like the hierarchical organization of my photos available there (photos in Albums, Albums in Collections, Collections in higher-level Collections, etc.)--it makes it lots easier for viewers to find what they want to see. $50/year is just about 14 cents/day and most folks waste that much without even thinking about it.

If one wants to keep their Flickr account, where and how do they pay? I did not see that in the SmugMug notification.

Thanks

I do have a SmugMug account. But that is for sales, etc. Until I have my Flickr images backed up, I intent to keep it.

Thanks

What website can you maintain for $50 per year?

I got the same email and am considering it. I didn't think 4.00 a month was too much and it ensures you won't run out of Flickr space. However, since Smugmug and Flickr are in the same family now think I will cancel my Smugmug account which I haven't used in such a very long time.
