Adding photos to an app
The preferred method of submitting photos to the BirdsEye apps is to upload files to http://birdseye.photo. If copyright restrictions only allow photos to be shown in a specific app, or product, you can send them to us in the following format.
Photos are stored on our server with a name based on the Taxon ID.
For example, if you have a photo of an adult Lesser Rhea, the file will be named with the formula:
taxonid-plumage-#. jpg
e.g. 000005-909-1.jpg
Notes:
– The taxon ID always needs to be 6 characters long.
– Each file name needs to be unique, and you can use it to specify the order you want photos to appear in the app.
Once you have some files ready for the app, you can send them to me to check that the formatting is correct.
We can display photos of any size, but we prefer portrait orientation, and the ratio we recommend is 1:1.25 (minimum 576 x 720 pixels).
