New Up Scope! Showcase

The site continues to evolve in response to your feedback. Several of you had commented on the slideshows at the top of each page and asked if there was an easier way to view the photos and read the captions, and it turns out that after a little work, there is!

A new menu item has been added to the Up Scope! menu, called Showcase. Selecting Showcase opens a list of image Showcases. Each Showcase is a gallery of images found elsewhere on the site - either in the slideshows previously mentioned or just images of special interest or artistic merit that you might find interesting.

The galleries are a preview of the evolution of every photo gallery on the website. Each gallery shows thumbnails of all the gallery images, and so you can scan the whole gallery at a glance. Clicking on any image opens the gallery, which expands the images to fit the size of browser window...

...Want larger images? Maximize your browser window. If the image is actually bigger than your browser window, there will be a double-arrowed 'expand' button in the slideshow controller at the top of the screen.

As you scan through the expanded image gallery, the caption for each image appears at the bottom of the screen. You have full control of the gallery to scan forward and backward, and can even put the slideshow in 'automatic' mode. If you desire, you can download a copy of the image using the link at the bottom of the gallery window.

Now the point of all this is not just to introduce you to a valuable new addition to the site, but to remind you that all those photographs you have squirreled away in some dusty shoebox somewhere deserve to find a place here on the ssn-680.org, in a new gallery devoted to images of people and places that you remember.

So take a few minutes, and dig out those slides or photographs, then read the FAQs about submitting images, and share them with the rest of us. Get in touch with me if you have questions that the FAQ don't answer. 

I'll be glad to help.
