Personal blog. Mostly photos.

I amended my photo journal’s design once again. I wanted to make all images fit completely on screen, no matter what the actual dimensions of the image are.

That images wouldn’t fit was mainly an issue with photos shot in portrait orientation or in square format. If a screen was wider than it’s tall – typical for most non-mobile devices – and you had less than 960px available vertical space, those images would be cropped. That’s no longer the case. And I find it much more enjoyable when the whole picture fits on screen.

As a minor downside, this update also decreases the size of landscape-oriented images, which would still have fitted previously. But this way, everything’s aligning well and portrait and landscape images still have the same size.
