They use high resolution photos that fully utilise screen real estate to make pleasingly simple photo layouts. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, although they&#8217;re free for your first three sets of photos, you need to pay after that. That&#8217;s because, as they explain, they wanted a business proposition from the outset, and didn&#8217;t want to get customers and then try to work out how to monetise them. In any case, advertising would really spoil the experience.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve now put a couple of sets onto the service. <a href=\"https:\/\/adambowie.exposure.so\/aldwych-station\">My latest is a collection of photos taken at the now closed Aldwych tube station on The Strand<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Previously, I put some <a href=\"https:\/\/adambowie.exposure.so\/suffolk\">photos of Suffolk<\/a> on the service.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t see myself abandoning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adambowie\/\">Flickr<\/a> any time too soon. And while <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/+AdamBowie\/photos\">Google+<\/a> is doing a lot with photos, I&#8217;m not ready to fully utilise that either. Exposure recently added the ability to use custom domains. If that extended to sub-domains (it may &#8211; I&#8217;ve not checked) then it might be a solution to my currently underwhelming <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.adambowie.com\/photography\/\">photography<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>I would like more control how Flickr lets you embed photos externally though. For example, the photo above is an iframe, and while it lets visitors easily see a fullscreen version of the photo (if they&#8217;re on adambowie.com itself &#8211; they may not get the fullscreen option in a reader like Feedly), there is nothing to stop the viewer disappearing off into my full Flickr photoset. While in and of itself, that mightn&#8217;t be a bad thing, I&#8217;m generally using a photo to illustrate some writing. <\/p>\n<p>Currently you can still embed the &#8220;old&#8221; way if you revert to the older style Flickr. I&#8217;m not as hung up on Flickr as some are, and while they now seem to have a tendency to launch products before they&#8217;re ready, I&#8217;m pleased to see Yahoo finally developing the platform. <\/p>\n<p>I do shortly face the dilemma of whether I continue on my grandfathered subscription plan, or whether I stop paying and start to see ads. I tend to think that I use Flickr enough that I don&#8217;t want advertising though. I&#8217;ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m continuing to play around with the best way of displaying photos online, and a new kid on the block is Exposure.
