PhotoSpotLand is a community dedicated to travel and to passionate photographers, whether amateur, professional, or blind photographers. PhotoSpotLand allows people with a common passion to be in touch and even meet in real life. It is the Social Operating System for travel and passionate photographers, learning how to shoot great photos in great places with great people, with a plethora of information on where, how, when, and with whom to shoot. Instead of sharing photos PhotoSpotLand guide users on how and where to shoot great pictures, offering the best shared experience in travel photography. In addition, the mobile app also allows the user to interact with nearby users. Now, without incurring expensive data charge, users can access PhotoSpotLand before arriving at a destination to find out if any other photographers are visiting the Spot at the same time and how they have gone about planning their trip. The user will also receive information regarding weather forecasts, traffic, and most everything else a photographer needs to know to prepare for a shoot. After reaching the site, the mobile version of PhotoSpotLand will send the photographer immediate updates (from both the provider and other photographers) about parking, weather, potentially dangerous situations, and other data relevant to the shoot. The PhotoSpotLand mobile app will also reveal the locations of the nearest photographers, share what photographic equipment they are using, and show who is available to give advice and interact with others. Therefore, if a photographer is at a Spot and encounters technical problems (such as battery failure) or needs different camera gear, others in the vicinity may be located for help. People love to share great photos. PhotoSpotLand helps to connect people with this common passion, and suggests great places to photograph and create a great shooting experience. PhotoSpotLand is the platform where people who love photography can share the best locations and events for shooting great photos, including how, when, and with whom to shoot. “Spot”, because we are interested in whatever interests our users – whether landscapes, coastlines, mountain ranges, buildings or bridges, religious events (like Easter in Seville), cultural events, festivals, carnivals (the Rio or Venice carnivals), or even once-in-a-lifetime events, such as volcano eruptions or lunar eclipses. For every spot in PhotoSpotLand, the user will find a plethora of information, ideal shooting data (e.g. whether a tripod or a flash is needed, the best time of day or best season to shoot), as well as how to get there, accessibility info, weather, sunrise/sunset timing, nearest food and accommodations, etc.
