Yes it has nice photographs, and it is a pleasure to visit.
Are photographs sold and what is the experience?
The feedback is fluffy and cute and lacks the depth I have experienced on photosig.com (with all its limitations).
Is this site a show pony for the better photographers?

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. 500PX HAS NO ETHICAL STANDARDS.
I originally subscribed 500px for £37/year to try the pro-platform. I've never made any money of the photos I uploaded, neither made useful contacts, so I stopped using it. I wasn't aware of the auto-renewal, and a year later I received an email that my subscription has been renewed for £102!

I emailed them to cancel my renewal and to request the refund, but they denied it, claiming they sent an email of reminder 7 days prior of the renewal, however I DID NOT receive any email from them regarding the renewal, only marketing emails, and I'm not alone.

In this strange times of lockdown, most of us are out of work, with no prospect of work for the next 4-6 months. What 500px is doing is imoral and dishonest.

Very bad customer service, and no clients deals on this site. I am disappointed. I want a refund but they wont reply to me now.

I've been a member on 500px for a while now and for some reason, I don't enjoy 500px as much as I used to. I feel like it's all about money now. Maybe it's just me but thought I'd put it out there.

Good photographers
February 5, 2016

Good photographers, but they push to sell stock and have not sold $1 on my account. I do see they say a lot of sales are done, but still waiting to see on my account any action

I will second this website being one of the best around for both shooting tips as well as the community. It is a great community of photographers who are all very helpful in sharing tips. Even if you are not local to the bay area, US or WW, they are always available to help. I like how it is a smaller community and not overrun with spammers like on other sites.

If you want to see amazing photography this is a great place to start. I only found it recently so I'm still finding my way around but so far, I love it. Great images and it's possible to buy images if you like them. Worth checking out I think.

It is a fabulous website.
There are so many genies there, the pictures are so wonderful.
I think the one who can create such beautiful pictures must be a great one.
There's only one problem, pictures there could not free download.
I want use some of them as my desktop, but it could not. :(
