Bing teams with 500px in new photo offering

500px is a famous app for photographers -- but there are other reasons for its renown, most notably its temporary ban by Apple from the App Store on the grounds that it provided easy access to pornographic material. Regardless of that seemingly bad publicity, the service has signed a new a photography deal with Microsoft.

Bing has an iconic home screen that features a new image every day, showing off spectacular photography from around the globe. The company brags that "by following a simple, consistent theme of one beautiful image per day to show a unique perspective on the world our homepage has become synonymous with great photography".

The new deal will see 500px images gracing Bing. Microsoft explains, "in the coming months, we will highlight select images from over 2.5 million members of the 500px community thru selected parts of the Bing.com experience. As a passionate photographer myself, I am particularly excited about the platform and exposure this will provide to photographers around the world".

This will certainly enhance the Bing page, bringing even more great images to the masses and giving much-needed exposure to photographers who use 500px to show off their work.
