Re: PESO - River Thames

What I am talking about would reduce the white space and actually 
might make the photo appear larger on the phone screen.

Although that might depend on how the mobile browser deals with that.

But if you have one of the phones with a humongous screen and 
incomprehensible screen resolution (iPhone X has 2436x1125), then
the situation could be different... But even in that case this much white 
space around the photo is not needed, IMHO.

96 is the magic number. Make it so that the long edge is 96 units, eg 960 
pixels, and everything else falls into place.

Re: PESO - River Thames

1600 x 1200 is too large.
Even on the screen where I have 1920x1200 resolution, it is very seldom 
that I have the browser window open to the full screen, as I usually do 
many things in parallel on my computer.
My laptop has even smaller screen resolution. So, your 1600 pixels do not 
fit in the browser window (and laptop's screen).
Instead of the photo being aligned on the left side, there is a huge empty 
margin on the left.


Actually, the image itself is 800x800px. So, having that table 1600 px 
wide is rather strange.


Here is how your page looks in my browser:

Overall, my personal opinion is that a photo should be easily visible on 
the screen of the targeted audience without scrolling (either vertical or 
horizontal).


A lot of people around me are using laptops. Until recently, most laptops 
were with XGA screens (1024x768), and then some with the "wide-screen" 
aspect 1280x720 or 1280x800.

So, I was trying to keep the photos within 900x600 px, to allow for the

Ah, interesting. No I haven't heard you rant on this before ;-)

The page is created in Softpress Freeway 7 which is rather dated and is a
WYSIWYG editor for simpletons like me. The page is 1600 by 1200 pixes and
aligned centre so I'm at a loss as to why you would have to scroll 
sideways?
Happy to take advice as I just wanted a simple white page as a template

Haar sadly not.

There was a veritable plethora of swans there that day. I like a bit of 
quirkiness in my photographs so was waiting for something unusual. I excluded 
the other birds from the frame and waited for this one to drift further to the 
bank so that his body was not visible - then when he was just a head an neck, I 
started shooting. The other frames he was looking straight at me, which 
mimicked the church spire better, but I didn't like losing the classic curl in 
the neck, so went with this frame. I chose a square crop as the spaces left and 
right added nothing. I like it so er flew with it.

The funny highlight of the shot is the white bird head peeking from its 
shelter. I am not sure if it was trying to take a peek or to photo-bomb

your otherwise "classic" tranquil image.
Did Godfrey work as the "trap" for it?

As for "Thames", that often brings up this old joke that I remember
since my childhood:
(Being lazy to type it up, I've found this, slightly different but very 
similar version on the Internet)


The Master of the house is comfortably installed in an armchair in the 
library, reading a newspaper. Suddenly, John, his butler rips the door 
open and shouts, "Sir, the Thames is flooding the streets!" The Master 
looks up calmly from the newspaper and says: "John, please. I have already 
told you before, if you do have something important to tell me, first 
knock on the door, then enter and inform me, in a quiet and civilized 
manner, about the issue. Now please, do so." John apologizes and closes 
the door behind him. Three seconds later, the Master hears a knock on the 
door. "Yes?" John partially enters the room and with a gesture one would 
make when welcoming and ushering in somebody and water flowing over his 
shoes, he announced, "Sir, the Thames."



Cheers,

Igor
