I just came across Peter Lilja's photography, and thought I'd share it. Great work, most of it.

Is this like the Original Potry thread?

Those are amazing photos - I particularly like the snowscapes reflecting the sunset.

I guess it is Riusena! Now that you've commented on it I can't correct it either. Oh well, this thread will die a lot more quickly than the Orginal Potry thread, I expect.

I was going to say, Risuena, that it's "Orginal Potry." Noemon beat me to it. [Smile]

Nice stuff.

Awesome stuff.

I went to a couple meetings of my local camera club, but stopped going because I was (a) too nervous to submit my own stuff, (b) hadn't shot any slides EVER, the most popular medium, and (c) felt guilty about going just to gawk at the pretty pictures. Anyway, there was a gentleman in the club who had taken a trip out west to shoot mountains and sunsets. They were GORGEOUS. Absolutely breathtaking, with brilliant colors.

He didn't win very often, though. [Frown]

I'm guessing the judges thought some of the others were better technically, or maybe had better composition, but it's not like his photos were BAD. They weren't. I'm honestly not sure what the judges saw in the others that they did not see in his.

I should start going again. I wish there was more interest in B&W, though, because most of my best shots are in B&W. I still haven't shot the roll of slide film they gave me for joining--I should do that, too.

My stuff is here. I'm also taking requests at the moment. [Smile]

I have to warn, though, that results of requests may take a while, since I do NOT have a digital camera, and thus have to pay for film & developing, which takes a back seat to paying the mortgage.

Oh, and one of my favorite photographers is Scott Mutter. Very neat stuff. [Smile]

Does anyone know how he put the photographs on the front page of that site? I want to do something similar - is there code I can steal?

Thank you! I will show it to my daughter who is aspiring to something like this (in 20 years) [Smile]

Uh, its just some badly written table layout . . . .

You create a two column table in the center of your container, right aligning everything in the left column, and left aligning everything in the left colum, then you put a photo in one side and a caption on the other, alternating sides. Oh, and you vertically align the text at the bottom.

In fact, the code on that page is really, really bad. Its not even HTML, actually, as its not conformant to any of the HTML specifications. Its some tags that most browser happen to render moderately decently. I'd bet its broken on several versions of several browsers.

Oh, wait, silly scrolling. You might be talking about the first guy.

Actually, that first guy has a bit of really bad html himself. He puts a script tag between the head and the body.

His trick for that front page thing is actuall pretty simple. He defines an array like so, which preloads the images:

code:

<script language="JavaScript">
thumb = new Array(20);
	thumb[1] = new Image();
	thumb[1].src = 'picStart\skrattmas2hsida.jpg'
	thumb[2] = new Image();
	thumb[2].src = 'picStart\PL-001171-1.jpg'
	thumb[3] = new Image();
	thumb[3].src = 'picStart\spider1hsida.jpg'
	thumb[4] = new Image();
	thumb[4].src = 'picStart\PL-001669-1.jpg'
	thumb[5] = new Image();
	thumb[5].src = 'picStart\PL-001261-1.jpg'
	thumb[6] = new Image();
	thumb[6].src = 'picStart\PL-001394-1.jpg'
	thumb[7] = new Image();
	thumb[7].src = 'picStart\PL-001629-4.jpg'
	thumb[8] = new Image();
	thumb[8].src = 'picStart\PL-001667-3.jpg'
	thumb[9] = new Image();
	thumb[9].src = 'picStart\voxnanhsida.jpg'
	thumb[10] = new Image();
	thumb[10].src = 'picStart\PL-001440-1.jpg'
	thumb[11] = new Image();
	thumb[11].src = 'picStart\PL-001290-1.jpg'
	thumb[12] = new Image();
	thumb[12].src = 'picStart\PL-001045-1.jpg'
	thumb[13] = new Image();
	thumb[13].src = 'picStart\apa.jpg'
	thumb[14] = new Image();
	thumb[14].src = 'picStart\PL-001176-1.jpg'
	thumb[15] = new Image();
	thumb[15].src = 'picStart\PL-001297-1.jpg'
</script>

Then he names the big pic "mainpic".

Then he has links like these:

code:

<a href="#">
<img src="picStart/thumbs/skrattmas2hsida.jpg"
width="72" height="55" border="0"
onClick="document.mainpic.src = 'picstart/skrattmas2hsida.jpg';">
</a>

Ta-da, the big pic changes when the little pics are clicked. Layout however you want.

He also has some backend code that changes which images are displayed, but that's more complicated, and pretty much unrelated.

Oh, to clarify, by "name's his pic" I mean:

code:

<img src="blah.jpg" name="mainpic">
