This is the second in a series of posts detailing what’s new in PhotoTrader v2.0, the newest – and most ambitious – update to Tapestry’s flagship photo-sharing app for iPhone and iPod touch.
One of the coolest aspects of PhotoTrader – aside from the cool, interesting people one can meet – are (obviously) the photos.
In the continuing theme of improving photographic quality, PhotoTrader 2.0 will have an extra cool feature to reward those who shoot particularly great photos: Visions.
Visions Main Screen
Visions is, at its core, a gallery of the best photos traded from within PhotoTrader As a user, upon receiving a trade you can nominate it for placement within the Visions gallery, viewable from the web and within PhotoTrader itself.
Visions Gallery
Nominations are limited (each user can only nominate one photo each week) and go through a review panel. Selection is intended to reward truly artistic expression - Not all nominated photos will be selected, and those that are must also be approved by the photographer who took the photo.
Once the selection process is complete, chosen photos will be posted onto the web and shown in the in-app Visions gallery.
In addition, the gallery includes functionality for viewers to easily share Visions photos via Twitter, Facebook and email. If a photo is of a high enough caliber, it may be appreciated by a rather large number of people.
Are you a cut above the rest when it comes to photographic excellence – and your trades show it? Do you strive to capture photos with excellent composition and attention to detail? Visions is our thanks to the most imaginative amongst you for your continuing contribution to the PhotoTrader experience!
