#TCPhotos500px

TCPhotos500px is a sample iPad app that uses 500px's API to explore its beautiful photo streams.

It displays the thumbnails from the photo stream in a standard UICollectionView. When a thumbnail is selected, it will zoom in to display the photo in an overlay modal view. Dismissing the photo will zoom it back out to the thumbnail.


###Features

• Asynchronously fetches a page of photos only when needed.
• Custom overlay modal view to display the large size photo, instead of opening in full screen.
• Tap-to-dismiss gesture for overlay modal view.
• Custom zoom in and out transition animation for presenting and dismissing the overlay modal view.
• "Pull-to-Refresh" to get the latest photos from 500px's photo stream.
• Minimalist UI built using FlatUIKit.
• Supports all device orientations.
• Uses iOS 6's Auto Layout features to make it easier to transition to iOS 7.
• Full source code provided and project files are organised clearly in a MVC structure.
