These are great!!!
They’re good dogs, Brent.
Wow! The photos that Will took at Frostapalooza (and in the run-up) are absolutely fantastic!
He also shares the technical details for all you camera nerds.
I love these black and white photos from the border:none event that just wrapped up in Nuremberg!
These pictures really capture the vibe of this year’s lovely UX London event.
Where and when were these photographs taken?
It’s like that Chronophoto game I linked to with an added dimension of location.
This is a fun game—with the same kind of appeal as that Wiki History Game I linked to—where you have to locate photographs in time.
Marc very kindly took loads of pictures at dConstruct on Friday—lovely!
To mark the start of the Dark Skies Festival today, here are some fantastic photographics taken not that far from Brighton.
Match up images that have been posted in pairs to Twitter with the caption “same energy”. This is more fun and addictive than it has any right to be.
This is a very nifty use of CSS gradients!
I wrote a while back about one of my favourite photographs but this might just give it a run for its money.
It was only near the end of the 19th century that shutter speeds improved, as did emulsions, meaning that spontaneous moments could be captured. Still, smiling was not part of many cultures. It could be seen as unseemly or undignified, and many people rarely sat for photos anyway.
Chris has put together one of his indispensable deep dives, this time into responsive images. I can see myself referring back to this when I need to be reminded of the syntax of srcset
and sizes
.
A nice succint explanation of using the srcset
and sizes
attributes on the img
element—remember, you probably don’t need picture
and source
elements if your use case is swapping out different sized versions of the same image.
One caveat thought: you do need to know the dimensions of the images. If you’re dealing with unknown or user-generated photos, that can be an issue.
These are great photos of the speakers at Beyond Tellerrand—great captures of Sharon, Cassie, and Charlotte.
The Web is smothering in useless images. These clichéd, stock images communicate absolutely nothing of value, interest or use. They are one of the worst forms of digital pollution because they take up space on the page, forcing more useful content out of sight. They also slow down the site’s ability to download quickly.
