All I wanted was a Black Flickr

Two weeks ago, I created a 500px account.  I felt that this website is the next big thing when it comes to photo sharing. I uploaded some of my old photos and to be honest, I was impressed by its take-up and visibility rate when a couple of strangers commented on my sets.  That means those images that I just uploaded were highly visible to the public.  500px' home page highlights those photos that were recently uploaded. So far so good. Yesterday, I went to Singapore Botanic Garden and when I got home I was so excited to upload all my new photos.  Unfortunately, I reached its 10-photos-per-week limit. I was a bit disappointed by the limit they imposed but then, it's a free service, beggars can't be choosers.   The only way to remove this limit is to be an "Awesome" user by paying $49.95 per year. I then compared it's price with Flickr.  It's surprising to know that my old photo-sharing service with lots of subscribers is way cheaper than 500px.  Fl

This is one of the photos that I took when I first bought my Canon 60D.   It was taken using an 18-55mm kit lens.  You can see more of my shots in http://500px.com/paulvargas .

I just spotted this cute lizard in the vicinity of our office.  Who would expect it to pose like a boss!?
