There’s something deliciously appropriate about using a painting cloning service to clone a photograph of some cloned dogs.
“Did you just order an oil painting of Barbra Streisand’s dogs?” is the most Simon and Natalie thing ever.
Although this comes close:
PIctures of computers (of the human and machine varieties).
Analogue switches, dials, and buttons, buttons, buttons (just like that Flickr group I linked to).
Here’s a clever to technique to improve the perceived performance of image loading with a polygonal SVG placeholder.
Time-shifted photographs of my hometown in Ireland.
Photos of analogue interfaces: switches, knobs, levers, dials, buttons, so many buttons.
If you enjoyed reading Marcin’s serendipitous story on Twitter, here are the pictures to accompany it.
A selection from an ongoing photography project—seven years and counting—leading up to the launch of the Orion project.
Sci-fi book covers and posters from the 1970s.
A very handy tool for figuring out breakpoints for responsive images.
Upload an image in its largest size, play around with the settings, and then generate the breakpoints, the markup, and the resized images for each breakpoint.
This is so, so wonderful—hundreds and hundreds of photographs from all of the Apollo missions. Gorgeous!
The shots of Earth take my breath away.
This is so nifty! Mikey has made a site where you can order his interactive artwork.
Interactive? That’s right! Each framed picture comes with a pen so you can doodle over the picture (and wipe it clean again).
Check out The Fett and The Falcon!
SpaceX has a Flickr account, and you have permission to use these photos.
Smart thinking from Sara on providing a PNG fallback to browsers that don’t support SVG. Although, actually what I like about this solution is that it’s less about providing PNG as a fallback, and more about treating PNG as the baseline and SVG as the enhancement (an approach that the picture element is perfect for).
This strikes me as an eminently sensible idea by Emil: using the picture element to begin providing WebP alternatives to JPG.
Of course, picture-supporting browsers will have to adjust their decision-making algorithm to support this pattern.
Oh, Jeremy, you silly billy. It turns out that this works right out of the box. Nice!
A great primer on using srcset and picture. I think I’ll be referring back to this a lot.
