The Snapture Project

Stay Tuned for Snapture 2.0

June 6th, 2008

Snapture version 1.4 has been out in the wild for a little over a month now. Since release there’s been about a quarter million downloads from users all around the world. That’s pretty amazing. There’s nothing we enjoy more than receiving email from our users telling us how they used our product to improve the picture taking experience on the iPhone.

That being said, we just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve been busy coding up a new version of Snapture (code named ‘Sugar High’). We think that you’ll really love this upcoming release and hope that you’ll upgrade when it comes out in a few weeks. C’mon everyone, tell your friends to go get Snapture. We’re not going to be satisfied until every iPhone has our app installed.

What Happens When the Steelers Win

May 7th, 2008

Snaptured by Chris in Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Taken on Forbes Avenue in 2006 after the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Superbowl. After the game, UPitt and CMU students ran wild through the streets for a good old fashioned victory riot. I felt really bad for the booted cars that got flipped over. Remember to always pay your parking tickets during the playoffs!

Trespassers Will Be Baptized

May 7th, 2008

Snaptured by Jonathan in Culver City, CA, USA

Taken in a few years ago in a church parking lot. The pastor’s spot read: “Pastor Parking, You Park, You Preach”. Check out more of Jonathan’s photos on Flickr.

Are Those The Pearly Gates?

May 7th, 2008

Snaptured by Ajay in Valencia, Spain

I was backpacking around Spain a couple months ago and ended up in Valencia around 3am. Low and behold one of the first sights I saw after leaving the bus station was ‘The Jesus Bar’. I was really disappointed that it was close. I never got to see what existed beyond the pearly gates. Check out more of my travel pics on Flickr.

PSP Problem

May 3rd, 2008

Snaptured by Prameet in New York, NY, USA

Taken at the corner of Lafayette St. and E. Houston St. in Manhattan. I was walking to work one day and saw a PSP billboard that was more of a Microsoft Windows 2000 advertisement. Instead of showing game trailers like it normally does, someone was using it like a PC. Not sure if this was a hack or not.

Monster Truck Madness

May 2nd, 2008

Snaptured by Dave in Santa Clara, CA, USA

Taken in a tech company parking lot. A while back I showed up to work only to find our parking lot completely flooded. Apparently this one employee with a giant lifted pickup trunk accidentally ran over and destroyed a fire hydrant.

Forbidden Words

May 1st, 2008

Snaptured by Jonathan in Beijing, China

Taken in some fabric/silk/pearl market in Beijing. When you walk into the door, there’s this huge red sign that explains the expected quality of service you should receive at different vendors. Its probably part of Beijing’s effort to reach out to foreigners and to practice hospitality in time for the Olympics later this year. Its funny in that while walking around the many floors of this place, I still heard a bunch of these “forbidden words” yelled at to foreigners trying to bargain down prices extremely low.

Snapture v1.4 Released

April 30th, 2008

Snapture version 1.4 for the Apple iPhone has just been released. We’ve added a new adjustable timer feature in addition to fixing a couple of bugs such as ’settings sometimes reset’ and ‘thumbnails are squished instead of cropped’ when viewed in Camera Roll. You might also notice that the touch screen snap feels a bit different. That’s because the new version of Snapture now captures the image when your finger leaves the screen. We’ve found that this allows you to stabilize the iPhone when taking photos which ultimately allows you to take better shots. As always, please feel free to email us at contact@snapture.org for software related support. We try our best to reply to all of the emails that we get.

The other thing that we’ve added in this release is a direct link to our blog www.snaptured.com which we hope will evolve into a site where Snapture users and photo aficionados from the world over will send us unique images and stories. We’ve already had some great content posted by some of our friends but we really want to see what you’re seeing and experiencing wherever you may be. It’s easy to send us content. Just fire an email to submit@snaptured.com. Hopefully there will be a more integrated way to do this in an upcoming release.

For those who still can’t see Snapture under ‘Utilities’, make sure you install ‘Community Sources’ from the ‘Sources’ category first. Whether you’re using Installer or Cydia, go grab the latest version of Snapture from the Big Boss repository.

Happy Snapturing.

Happy Birthday Ben & Jerry’s

April 30th, 2008

Snaptured by Bowei in Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is famous in the States. Yesterday was their 30th Birthday and they gave out free ice cream cones to all who showed up. If you missed out on that don’t worry because there’s always a way to get some free ice cream at B&J’s. Take a look at the rules of the ‘Vermonster’ challenge (picture taken in Pittsburgh, PA). All you gotta do is eat your way through 20 scoops of premium ice cream with all the fixins. Not only is it free if you eat it all, you also get a free T-shirt. Not sure if this is at all Ben and Jerry’s locations or just a select few. In any case, consult with a doctor before you step up to the plate. You probably want to make sure you have some good health insurance.
