Photoglide has two simple functions :
- You can search photos by place and/or by date
- You can submit your photos to share them in photoglide
For now all photographies shared on
photoglide.net are shared and everybody may download them. A
functionnality allowing to sell certain photos and protect them by
watermark will soon be avalaible
What is Photoglide ?
Photoglide is a platform that allows
Waterpersons to find the photos of their practice.
Photoglide also allow photographers to share their Waterpersons pictures
- I'm riding on a spot, the light is good, i see a photographer shooting me from the shore, I don't know this photographer, how to find my pictures ?
- I’m a photographer shooting Waterpersons, i’d like to share or sell my photos but how to meet the riders I photographed?
The goal of Photoglide "where and when" is to answer this question by allowing to store and retrieve photos by location and by date. WHERE AND WHEN !
What is a Waterperson ?
A waterperson is somebody practicing activities like : surfing,
windsurfing, kiteboarding, wingfoiling, kayak, etc ....
currently the name used is Waterman but here at Photoglide we
love everybody : men, women and rainbows so we say Waterpersons.
How does it work ?
Photographers store their photos on Photoglide "where and when" and indicate :
- where and when the photo has been taken.
- If the photo is free of if it is to sell (not active for now).
When the photo is to sell :
- It is stored with low resolution and a watermark to protect it,
- If someone wants to buy a photo then Photoglide "where and when" allows the rider and the photographer to enter in contact directly via email to make a deal.
When the photo is free everybody may download the photo in full resolution.
Are there limitations ?
Yes there are :
Each photographer may upload only 10 photos by day. This is for two
reasons :
- Storing photos in data centers has an environmental impact. Let's try to limit it.
- At Photoglide "where and when" we think it's better to select few quality pictures than to pour all the content of the memory card of your camera.
Is it free or paid ?
Photoglide "where and when" is free for now.the first objective is to answer a need and to facilitate the connection between photographers and Waterpersons . Things may change in the future.
Why are not my photos published immediately ?
Because the first of the sports concerned is surfing.
- We want to protect the privacy of the weather information on the spots.
- We don't want all the kooks to land on a confidential spot and use Photoglide "where and when" as a live weather information site.
