Re: testing the gallery?

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if we are supposed to offer feedback
about the pinhole day upload here on the list, but in
looking at the pages for viewing the submissions, a
couple of things came to mind.

1. Will there be an attempt to achieve some uniformity
in the size of the images? Obviously they can't and
shouldn't be identical in size, and I know these are
test images, but it is conceivable that people will be
sending images of very different physical dimensions
and resolutions (which will change the size on
screen). It will be difficult to adjust each photo as
it comes in. I haven't yet looked at the submission
page, if there is a size recommendation there, then
maybe this is not a problem, but tiny images followed
by ones so big that you have to move your browser
window to view them may be disconcerting to viewers.

2. If the response is good (hundreds of photos or even
a hundred), then the linearity of the display could
become tedious to viewers. I got tired of hitting the
browse button after about 20 photos. That might mean
the photos at the beginning get a lot of attention
while those at the end get ignored. One way to help
might be to have thumbnails (someone has to do a lot
of work, of course). It might help just to say
somewhere how many photos there are in total. Or could
a random selector be added?

Just some thoughts.

Colin
