CSS

Information

This gallery is my simplest yet. It is just an unordered list of images that are normally compressed vertically (reduction 8:1). When you hover over one of these compressed images it expands to full size. It is based on my sliding menu system and adapted to use images. No thumbnails are required and all the images are 'pre-loaded'.This method can be used either vertically, as shown, or horizontally.

Updated 1st July 2005

The horizontal slide photo gallery added.

The 'windows' photographs

The window set of photographs were taken by Mike Berg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada using a Canon PowerShot S100. http://www.antoniusberg.com/
