I started a 500px account, in late May this year, to just see what the buzz was about and to have a place to showcase what I think is some of my best work. Overall it is nice site, but I’ll stick to my Munchkin Photos account through SmugMug for most of my work. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised today when I uploaded my picture of the Hungarian Parliament Dome, which I called Golden Dome (right). The photo shot up in ratings to a popularity rating of 90.1 in less than hour. This is double the highest rating I have on some of my other photos. I think it is rather impressive for a low light photo shot without the use of tripod looking straight up. Now the question is will anyone actually buy a print of the photo.
