About MyPhotoExhibits.com
Unlike traditional static online galleries, Tamron's SoHo-styled MyPhotoExhibits (MPE) interface, available at
http://myphotoexhibits.com,
allows users to create customizable gallery exhibits with a vibrant
interactive experience. Photographers simply set up a user avatar and
bio, upload their favorite high-resolution images and create their
personalized on-line exhibit space. After organizing the exhibit and
captioning the photographs, users can put finishing design touches on
their exhibit. By choosing wall and floor textures and colors, frames,
furniture, and lighting, photographers are invited to extend their
creativity and show their work in complimentary settings. It's easy to
go back into the MPE interface at any time to add more photos, tweak
presentation specs, or create an unlimited number of new exhibits that
feature travel pictorials, special events, projects, and more.
Spreading
the word about these custom exhibits is another way in which
MyPhotoExhibits stands out from other online galleries. Once an exhibit
is ready to "open" it's easy to share it with friends. Users simply send
invitations from the website or iPhone & iPad app to Facebook or
other social media platforms or by email. Visitors can sign the
photographer's guestbook, choose favorite exhibits and follow exhibiting
photographers.

Tamron
is a leading manufacturer of photographic lenses. Among its many
optical and mechanical innovations since the founding of the company in
1950, Tamron's development of mass-produced hybrid Aspherical elements
paved the way for today's compact high power all-in-one lenses when, in
1992, this technology was incorporated into the ground-breaking
28-200mm. Tamron continues to lead in this category of lenses with the
new 18-270mm Di II VC PZD - the world's smallest and lightest 15X zoom
lens featuring Tamron's propietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system
for blur-free hand-held shooting of photos in low light and at telephoto
settings and PZD (Piezo Drive) autofocus system for fast and quiet AF
operation. Tamron has garnered international acclaim for its extensive
line-up of professional and consumer lenses.
