Hi All,
I have currently completed an Android App called AutoPIX. Its an app designed to automatically take photographs at set intervals, capture the gps coordinants of where the photo was taken and upload this information to AutoPIX.me servers to share online on facebook, twitter, etc...
Features:
Set Interval to Capture Photo and GPS (Time Lapse)
Set Quality of Image to AutoUpload to AutoPIX
Share Album View or Slideshow View
Website Design Mobile Friendly
Enable Camera Flash
My original intention for the app was to attach my phone to a weather balloon and use AutoPIX to take photos of its travels on the way to space and back down. The photos and gps coordinants will be plotted on the AutoPIX.me website to share.... Great Idea but I have concerns about application misuse. Such as:
* The App is silent and can take photos with the screen off and no shutter sound, A Spy App?
* People sharing pornographic pictures
* People taking photos and sharing someones location without their consent and posting this online
* Are there countries that wouldnt allow this app
I have set a Terms of Service on the AutoPIX.me website, is this enough?
Should I be concerned about application misuse?
Should I be concerned about camera app requirement in a Country or State?
Appreciate your feedback

I thought the default camera app adds lat/lon to exif since 1.5, if not there is always snap photo...
Default doesn't, so probably go with SnapPhoto.
You can also geotag photos taken with a DSLR/digicam by installing Google My Tracks on the phone. Before you begin taking photos, you need to do two things: 1) Make sure your camera and phone clocks are synchronized (within 1 minute would be good). I suggest syncing the camera to the phone, as the phone gets highly accurate time from the GSM network. 2) Start My Tracks and begin recording your GPS position. Now just keep your phone on you as you take pictures. When you are done taking photos stop the GPS recording, choose the Save to SD option and export the track as a GPX file. On your computer, install a geotagging application like GeoSetter or Gpicsync. In the app, specify the folders containing your photos and GPX files. Then all you need to do is click the sync or apply button and the app will automatically look for GPX files with similar timestamp ranges and apply the geotag data to your pictures.

If you want to support OpenStreetMap.org and similar types of activities geotagged photos of street signs and photos in general are useful for the OpenStreetView project...
Is there a way to share higher resolution pictures on apps such as Facebook or Twitter from the Camera program? When I take a picture and want to share it I click on the menu button -> Share and select Facebook or Twitter. Problem is the picture that's shared is TINY even though I'm taking a 5MP picture and you can't even make out anything. Is there a setting for this anywhere where I can adjust the resolution it's sent out at?
How are you trying to share the photo? Using AllShare?
All default options such as Google mail, Bluetooth, etc shares complete pic.

I'm sharing it directly from the Camera app. Ie I take the picture and when it shows the preview there is a Share button. I like the button and a list pops up of ways to share it which includes Facebook and Twitter. The problem I have is that what it uploads is a tiny resolution (320x240) picture that can barely be made out. Is there a way to change the resolution that is uploaded to these sites?
Bump...anyone know how to do this?
Anyone knew this?

I'm believe I'm looking for a slideshow photo viewing app. Let me explain, I have a project where I need to display information digitally and without any maintenance or power. I figured e-ink is the best technology and if I can find a slideshow program I can rotate the images (which contain graphical information) every few minutes and the battery life should last for days.
Another approach might be converting the images to a PDF document. How do you then automatically rotate through the pages of that PDF document?
Appreciate any suggestions

To rotate simply double click image files in Windows on a PC, rotate buttons at bottom: auto saves.
Best image viewer for android is Quickpic which most replace troublesome default Gallery with, does slideshow and image view settings usually has option to rotate to match aspect if not rotating & saving manually.

Hey everyone,
When I take a photo in Portrait mode, I have the option to adjust the focus after the shot in the Albums app.
Are there any other apps I can use on for mobile and Windows that will allow me to adjust the focus, or is that feature gone when a photo is uploaded (full size) to the cloud for backup?
I'm asking because after a while I want to clean up the photos/videos on my phone to free up space but would still like to go back to some of the older photos every now and then.
Thanks!
