Seeing Scott Hanselman's
Viewing a LOT of Images Effectively (plus 700 Obama Newspaper Covers in
Silverlight Deep Zoom ) blog post, we
thought replicating what he did could be a real test for Zoomery Gallery.
Once we have downloaded all images from the
Newseum coverage of the Obama
victory, all we had to do is to put all those images through Zoomery Gallery
Beta - no coding
required! You can
see the end result below. Over 700 images can be browsed, their combined
pixels add up to almost a Gigapixel! Scott, thanks for the tip on showing off
the power of Deep Zoom!
Try it!
Use the mouse wheel or the zoom in / out icons at the bottom to zoom
in and out. Use the play button to start and stop a slide show. Click on any
image to focus it. Use the text entry field in the upper right corner to
filter the images. For example, type "Canada" (without quotes) see how the Canadian
newspapers covered the event. Or type in "Times" or "Herald" or "Morning" to
see how many similarly titled newspapers there are.
