Photo Examples

Things to do with photos:

> The "rule of thirds" illustrates how to crop a photo to create a point of interest.

> Thumbnail navigation gives the viewer control and avoids the boring "next-next-next" constraint of a linear slide show. The example includes 7 photos and 7 thumbnails.

> Thumbnail cropping: Don't spoil the effect of the photo by showing everything in the thumbnail.

> Easy-to-navigate photo gallery using thumbnail images.

> Using photos as page design elements -- especially as backgrounds. (Neat CSS techniques too.)
