But, how many of them are usually wearing white socks?

He put them on special because he knew you were coming to take his picture. He thought you were going to make him a famous!

First entry: Post Art Guitar

Last Feb in Brighton I caught an artist taking down his stuff at the end of his exhibition. I think he had suspended this guitar using tape tape weaving a web through small hooks nailed all around the side of the guitar.

Something from October last year. Montague Street festival. Montague Street is the main shopping street in Brooklyn Heights historic district. Home-made percussion for a blue-grass band. Cropped and framed. No other changes. Camera Canon 350XT 28.0 - 135.0mm.

Thumbnails

Does anyone think there might be some merit in having slightly larger thumbnail images? They're currently limited to 150 x 150 pixels, but I picked that size pretty arbitrarily.

Some suggestions

As has been mentioned before, with the amount of entries there are now, people may well make a judgement on the basis of the thumbnail, so maybe less immediately obvious/more detailed pictures might benefit from a larger size.

Any thoughts/opinions anyone?

 

[pineapple]

250 x 250 px has my vote. That's enough to let me know what I want to see more of and less of.

 

[ill-informed]

The bigger thumbnails are obviously better. How about a slideshow of all the entries at full size?

Are you volunteering to build it?

 

[ill-informed]

i knew you'd say that. i wouldn't have a clue where to start. sorry.

 

[Paul Russell]

250 would be good to look at on the thumbnails page.

(Some of the full-size original entries take ages to load. Especially Flickr stuff -- yawn.)

 

[Paul Russell]

First entry:

Brass band

agree with paul, had a look, much better.

 

[hiccup]

OK, barring any other objections, I'll make em 250 from now on.

EDIT: might have to keep an eye on my bandwidth though...

 

[mauvais]

I don't think it matters - they've always been big enough for me, even on massive monitors. If your photos are so complex that you need to see them bigger before you can tell they're worth further investigation, they're probably not going to win many votes anyway. Harsh maybe, but I think pretty much there

Yeah, but I wear jam jar specs so I need big thumbs otherwise I'll go blind like........

actually none of that is true, don't know why i said it really. maybe it's because i couldn't come up with any better reason for the increase in size (shuffle's off.....)
