Timothy Armes, author of many Lightroom plug-ins, has just released his first Web Engine.
‘Elegance’ is designed for photographers wishing to showcase is small number of images in an elegant display that’s free from navigation bars or other ornamentation that can make the gallery feel out of place on a web site. Fades and transitions are implemented in Javascript, so there’s no need to for visitors to install Flash.
iPhone users get a special treat too – the finger swipe gesture moves from one image to the next!
You can read more about Tim’s motivations for this gallery on his blog, see an example in action on his site and download the Web Engine from the Photographer’s Toolbox.
As with his plug-ins, this this donationware.
