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 the 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 recognized leader in the manufacture of precision optics, offering
a broad selection of meticulously engineered interchangeable lenses for
professional photographers and photo enthusiasts. Founded in 1950,
Tamron's passion for innovation brought forth the ground-breaking
development of mass-produced hybrid Aspherical elements, giving way to
enormously popular compact, wide-range zoom lenses. Dynamic research and
development, committed to advanced optical engineering, has produced a
stream of award-winning Tamron lenses and defined the All-in-One zoom
lens category, exemplified by 2010's 18-270mm Di II VC PZD.
Astonishingly compact and lightweight, this 15X zoom features
proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) technology, effectively
counteracting image-degrading blur caused by camera shake along with a
fast, quiet PZD (Piezo Drive) autofocus mechanism. Tamron lenses deliver
a superb fusion of performance and value, enabling today's
high-resolution digital SLR cameras to perform at their peak.
