Messing around with slideshows

[Recty]

I was trying to figure out slideshows for a website I'm designing for a construction company, long story short, I figured I'd use my little nephew Devin as a test subject since I have tons of pictures of him

It's nothing super fancy, but I think it's neat! My brother and sister in law (Devin's parents) really like it, so that's a good thing

It's a slideshow, so when you click to the other three pages let them sit for a 5 or 6 seconds and then you'll see it all start changing...

Very cool. There were quite a few I liked. My favorite though was him with Dad, (I think), sleeping. That's priceless!!!!!

Edit: the slideshow's pretty cool too!!!!!

Thanks. I took most of those, a couple he took when he would borrow my camera. The one with him and my brother sleeping is pretty cool, that was when we all went on vacation in Hawaii. Coming from Alaska, we were dying in Hawaii, my family was pretty much sprawled anywhere they could be passed out for the first night I figured I better capture an image before I passed out myself!

It was mainly for the slideshow that I did this, but it was neat going back through the last year worth of pictures and seeing how much everything has changed. I bought my camera last December so it's been a year ago now, I've definitely learned a lot in the last year.

looks nice. Was there a template you used from that particular site or some other software to make it? There was one issue for me. Using my laptop here at work I am unable to fully see all three of the frames that are changing out simultaneously. I have to have the top and bottom images cropped. Is it possible to have a display that is less tall, like 1 row with 2 images instead of three images on 2 rows?

Yep, it is completely at my whims. I built it exactly like that, there were no templates involved.

On my monitor at home, it's perfect, but I noticed on my wife's laptop that it does the same thing you did.

I'm having a hard time with web design, trying to decide who I want to optimize for. Anyone with a decent 19" monitor can see it perfectly and it fits proportionately very well onto the screen, or my 22" widescreen is the same way. If you have a smaller monitor though or run at a small resolution, the site isnt as easy to view.

BUT... if I shrink down everything to fit a smaller monitor, the big monitors have excess space and just look bad.

Anyway, to answer your question, yes, I can resize, move, add or subtract anything on there I want, I just coded it to be that way. Whether I want to or not is another question entirely

personally....and I am not really skilled enough to code for this (or too lazy to take the time to figure it out) I would use one row with images side by side that alternate consecutively. I would make them large enough to fill the width of a "small" monitor and just set the background color to "fill" the edges of any sized monitor. That's just me though. I like the idea and the transitions though, nice work. You're getting good at shooting and web design my friend .
