No rest for the active. In my ongoing quest for continuous improvements, I have redesigned the way the gallery is presented. Don't worry it is still up in the air. Having said that, Please provide some feedback.

Should it stay like the original?

http://www.nikonimages.com/standardgallery.php?showall

Should it move to the new latout?

http://www.nikonimages.com/sg.php?showall

Or should I spend time coding to allow the user to select which layout they would rather use?

Update

I have added the ability to select the one you like. The choice is at the top right side of the standard gallery view. You can switch back and forth as you like. If this works, I will implement the feature in the other gallery pages when I have time.

It's Christmas. Please don't make me code

Looking forward to reading your feedback.

Personally I think Google has it figured out. Clean thumbnails with the quick pop on a hover to include the information with a look like the new layout.

This is a tough decision.
On one hand, the new layout spreads out all the pictures in a similar format, giving the advantage of equal visual fields for the pictures, so if you want to visualize better an impacting picture, you'll need to click on it to view it larger. The old layout has the ability to catch your attention to a specific picture given the layout.
Its a matter of taste actually, some photographers will prefer the old layout, some will prefer the new one. There will be no right or wrong format. Its just a matter of perception.
I myself like the ability to choose the format you like the most.
In the end what matters most is that this is not a dump and go site for pictures, I value any comments from all the skilled photographers to my pictures, because that's the way we learn something new every day and improve our art skills.
JT has made a terrific job with this site, kudos to JT!

Hi JT!
Personally I like the new version is best, preferably with a darker background!

Personally there is value to both layouts.
It really depends on what the user is doing.
I really like the idea of having the ability to switch between the two options.

Just my two cents...

I would prefer the new design; yes, it looks more like a database ( little malus); yes, the imagesize is smaller ( another malus), but I really dislike letters and text and so on in pictures, not given from the artist.
Thank you for the good work!
Stefan

The old layout are the dynamic and interesting way of showing the photos. I would also say it is the modern way of showing the photos. The new layout looks pretty outdated and old to me. Eatch photo with the same size in coloums and rows, thats how we have seen photos sorted way back in time. It is a tidy and correct way of presenting photos, but I would day very boring.

The old layout is the dynamic way of presenting photos, Full of life and movement.

Im my mind, the old layout is the new and modern way of presenting photos and the new layout is the oldfashion way of presenting photos.

JT, Please dont go backwards in time
