A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of helping Nick Campbell (GreyscaleGorilla.com) with the complete redesign of the ShakeItPhoto App website. The whole project was based off the new icon which was done by Margot from Pitch Design Union. If you haven’t already, check out the new site, and then buy the app!

Today, the ShakeItPhoto 1.1 update was finally released into the wild fixing a few bugs and adding one awesome feature. The ability to take any photo from your library and polarize it. ( Thank you Nick Campbell! ) Also because of this feature, iPod Touch users can now share in the fun of polarizing their favorite photos. I’m sure this will open the door for even more awesome photos and postings!

Also, we are very close to releasing the ability to post multiple photos at once as well as a few little bug fixes. Please shoot over any suggestions or feedback you have for the site.

Keep shooting and keep posting!

Add a pretty little icon to your iPhone home screen for quick access to PhotoShakeDown.com. Don’t know how to do it?

Instructions:

1. Go to the http://photoshakedown.com/m/ on your iPhone.
2. Hit the “+” sign in your safari web browser.
3. Hit  the “Add to Home Screen” button.
4. Name the icon what ever you want and hit add!

Now that your icon has been put on your home screen, move it right next to ShakeItPhoto. Awwww, how cute!

700 Polaroids Posted Since Launch!

PhotoShakeDown is just exploding with new polaroids everyday! Since the launch of the site, fellow lovers of ShakeItPhoto have posted over 700 polaroids to our site and counting! It’s amazing how much you can love photography with just an iPhone & ShakeItPhoto!

We need to celebrate!

To enjoy this moment we thought we would give away a $15 dollar iTunes gift card to the uploader of the 700th polaroid! (What a cute dog right?)

Congratulations Taz Goldstein!

We’ve just put in the mail an iTunes gift card which will allow you to buy new apps, songs or even movies for your iPhone or Mac! Check out Taz’s twitter account or his website!

Don’t worry! More prizes coming!

Be sure to keep an ear out for more announcements about contests and prizes in the next coming days. We have more iTunes cards to give away and even a sweet “secret” surprise for the 1,000th polaroid posted.

Happy Posting!

New Features!

1. Today we’ve released a new feature. When a photo is posted successfully, you’ll now receive a confirmation email. The email will contain the link of the photo you posted and encourage to come back to check for ratings and comments.  Also, it’s a great way to share the link easily right from your email.

2. Now photos will automatically post to twitter as soon as they are posted. No waiting to share your link via @photoshakedown. All photos are still under close watch. We plan to add a “Report” button for inappropriate content.

Coming Soon…

Also, there is a rumor about iPhone 3.0 software will have the ability to email multiple photos at once and this makes me real excited. So coming soon will be the support of multiple photo uploads right from your iPhone.

Last but not least, contests and prizes are coming soon! So keep your eye out for that perfect shot!
Well that is it for today’s post! If you have any questions/comments/suggestion please email us at info@photoshakedown.com or just put it in the comments! Happy posting!

ShakeItPhoto

PhotoShakeDown

PhotoShakeDown.com is the most recent project I’ve been working on in my spare time between jobs. This is a user submitted gallery for iPhone lovers that use the app “ShakeItPhoto.” What is it you ask?

Nick Vegas (Photographer and author of GreyscaleGorilla blog) created ShakeItPhoto which is the most realistic instant photo experience for the iPhone. It works just like a real instant camera. Watch the photo develop. Shake it to make it go faster! Click here to download from iTunes…

Explain what this site can do!

As I already covered it’s a user submitted gallery that is built to be viewed via the iPhone. You can post, browse or search through tons of polaroid photos. You have the option to click through the pictures one by one, or even browse the site by looking at tons of thumbnails. People can rate your photo and leave comments without even having to sign up.

How do I start posting my best polaroids?

Simply email your photos from your iPhone to post@photoshakedown.com. After a quick moderation they will be posted!
