Imaginova Launches Amazing Images, Premier Destination For User-Submitted Earth & Space Imagery

Imaginova™ Corp. announces the launch of its new online destination, Amazing Images™, where visitors to LiveScience.com™ and SPACE.com® can post and vote on the best user- submitted images, ranging from weather phenomena like lightning strikes to extreme travel adventures and far away galaxies.
“The proliferation of digital cameras and camera phones has made it extremely easy to capture new perspectives of the world around us,” explains Jason Hoch, Imaginova’s Vice President of Internet Operations. “Amazing Images gives anyone with a camera a place to share their experiences, whether as a lone skier on an untouched mountain range, a keen observer of cloud-to-cloud lightning flashes or a witness to meteor showers.”
Amazing Images has brought together photographers who are hobbyists or professionals in science related fields. It allows users to post their own images and create personalized homepages with those images. Visitors to Amazing Images can rate and vote for the best image in a category, of the day, of the month or of all-time. Users can email postcards of any images, or join the community to share views and insights on the images, equipment used and more. More features and enhancements are in development.
Currently, the LiveScience.com Amazing Images gallery is home to images ranging from furry creatures; mountain and desert landscapes; waterscapes; exotic locales or extreme travel adventures; and weather phenomena. Images of auroras, eclipses, galaxies, nebulae, the Moon, the planets, spacecraft and crews can be uploaded to the SPACE.com Amazing Images gallery.
Amazing Images can be found at https://www.livescience.com/amazingimages/ and https://www.space.com/amazingimages/. It’s free to view and rate the images. Users can register for free to submit their photos.
