One of the thing that stood out to me is the transition animation that he uses on the start page. It involves a combination of zooming plus panning and fading in between photos. It adds much needed dynamic and cleverly showcases bigger photo in a smaller frame which makes a lot of sense being that many of our clients screens arent so big to start with (ie, typically a 15" laptop). And most importantly, it allows the photographer to showcase his hi-res work in all it's glory.

I would like to achieve this similar effect and while I have some solutions around it. I'd like to ping for ideas, especially if there's other feasible way of doing it. Here's my take:

1. Create the animation and render it as an swf, and load them into the gallery...but it's not exactly the most efficient way in term of managing and keeping it regularly updated

2. Same as first, but movie form. Huge file size!

Cheers!
