A new mobile application (currently available for iPhone and Android), Scoopshot is for those who have so high a concept of their photographic skills that they think others would be willing to pay good money for their pictures. Users of this free app are enabled to sell all the photos that they take to leading publications the world over, and do so straight from their smartphones. This is done by submitting them to the Scoopshot Store the minute they have been snapped, along with a short explaining why each picture would make great front page news. What’s every bit as important, when submitting images to the Scoopshot marketplace the user is also allowed to set down a price for what he’s sending in.
And monthly photo contests are held on the site, so as to give those who always need a good push in order to start doing things a great excuse to grab their mobiles and walk down their local streets, looking for some unique sights to capture. Contestants are allowed to submit as many photos as they want – they won’t be coerced into the position of having to pick one and only one image out of hundreds. Newcomers will undoubtedly appreciate that.
