Exercise 25. Website Gallery

For the final exercise on the course we have been asked to consider setting up a web gallery. Over the years I have viewed a good many web galleries and I already have a good idea of what I like and how I like them to be presented.  I then had a good look at several more galleries that are available on the internet.  I particular enjoy the galleries that are presented by national newspapers, the quality of the photographs is always very good and that helps to make them instantly more attractive.   Although the advertising can be a distraction.
The Daily Telegraph is an example

I like simple layouts and I like the photograph to be the centre of attention.  

During this piece of work I have looked at as many galleries as possible and have even tried a few free ones myself, however the one I have had for a few years, in my FLICKR account, seems to tick all the boxes for me.

I like the easy navigation which allows the photograph to be moved forward or back by the arrow and also by clicking on the photo.  I particularly like the black background that allows the photograph to stand out.  The thumbnail icons are useful for swifter navigation and there is a clear option to go to full screen.
