Thanks Adam! I must admit that for the landing page we used a pre-made transiton from Flash Den. I’d never purchased anything from there before, but the client saw this transition and fell in love. I think it works really well too in coordination with that specific photo.

We didn’t use the transition throughout the site for two reasons:
1) that transition uses an xml file and you can only specify one image to apply it too - we ddin’t feel like hacking it in such a short timeframe
2) with transitions in place, the load time was becoming a bit rediculous, so we scrapped them in favor of faster load times for the photos.

Glad you like it!

Great work! How did you do the landing page? Was that flash too? Its definitely very sexy but it would have been great to see the transition used on the landing page in the actual gallery as well.
