Looks like big changes coming to 500px.com I wonder what happens to out current stuff or how that image is transfered to Fotomoto when purchased… Changes to the StoreDear friends, First of all, let me say a huge thanks to all of you — without you none of this would have been possible. This year 500px has seen tremendous growth and development, and although the ride was bumpy at times, our dedicated team members always stood behind the platform, solved the most challenging problems and did their best to offer our users the best experience possible. There are many exciting things planned, you will see them live on the site in the nearest future. One of the most requested changes is coming very soon — we are completely redesigning and redeveloping the photo store experience on 500px. The current 500px photo stores, provided by our partner Fotomoto, are not ideal. Its platform, although powerful and feature rich, does not quite satisfy our high demands for quality of the user experience. So, we will not extend our contact with Fotomoto, and they will end supporting stores on 500px on September 27, 2011. We are working hard to make the transition as […]

.. you asked for it….

Where there aren't very many resources, are knowing how things are from the model's point of view. Today, I wanted to focus on addressing the model during the shoot. Communication during the shoot is possibly the single most pivotal thing to the comfort on set. How effectively you communicate can change her poses from fun and wild and energetic, to reserved and non-emotive. My first piece of advice is to open the lines of communication before the day of the shoot. You don't want to have to worry about ice breakers day of, or things coming off wrong. You want to get a decent feel for your subject to know exactly the type of girl who's gracing your lens. If she's a shier type, you'll know to work on getting her to open up.

Android Developers or those that have researched app development pricing? What does it truly take to make a simple Android Application that will display a set group of photos that can be updated (hopefully without the app needing to be updated) With links to a photographer profile or website. So simple app that displays a set number of photos – that can be updated easily by the persons who photos they are and might be able to send a simply notification that states new photos have been released.. Is Android cheaper to develop for than Apple? Any incite would be great.. View this post on Google+
