This is a very interesting technology and a very good example of thinking
mind at work! Check out
http://www.livestudios.sg/ who specialise in taking photos and having them
place on the web in real time. It’s a nice and very fun way to see live photos
but I got too curious and went hunting on how they did it. I cam up with Nikon
using a lot of words in Google and searched further, found that they may be
using the Nikon WT-1. Read up on this cool gadget that will connect to a Nikon
D2H digital SLR camera. Mind you, it ain’t cheap for the camera nor the WT-1.
Online forumers are selling a D2H for at least SGD$2800.00 while a 2nd hand WT-1
starting bid was $780.00

PTP/IP isn’t new just that it wasn’t given enough talk about I guess. Read
about it @

http://www.livingroom.org.au/photolog/news/picture_transfer_protocol_over_ip.php
or do a Google search for more.

So I will guess, picture was taken, send to a PC via the WT-1 and uploaded to
a FTP server of your choice?

Questions will be:

1. Could 3G could have been used since the photography is outdoors and
there’s no gurantee of a Internet connection but a cellphone will have a lot of
coverage in Singapore thus bypassing transmissing the pictures to a PC/
notebook.

2. Auto-naming of the pictures done by the camera/ WT-1 itself and
timestamped named?

I wouldn’t know but it’ll be very interesting to have a chat with them.
