ShotHotspot helps you find the perfect photography location
June 9th 2013
London - ShotHotspot.com is
a new search engine for finding photo hotspots all over the world. Unlike
similar sites which simply search through locations that users have added,
ShotHotspot uses the location info of images on Flickr and Panoramio. This
provides the search engine with millions of potential hotspots covering many
areas of the world.
Once hotspots have been found, or 'spotted', by
users, they are stored in the ShotHotspot database. A number of factors such as
liking, commenting or viewing of a hotspot then determine its ranking within
the ShotHotspot search engine.
The site was created by amateur photographer Darren
Johnson who was frustrated that nothing like it existed. "About six
months ago I got fed up with feeling like Columbo trying to piece together
scraps of information on forums as to good photo locations to visit,"
explains Darren. "I've developed ShotHotspot in a way that allows the
database of hotspots to grow organically as people find new places, and the
search engine will become even more accurate with time."
