That's some of the nastiest Photoshop post-processing I've ever seen. posted by unSane at 4:27 PM on October 26, 2008
@unSane: agreed. I think it's ironic in intent though, right? Like, super-clear photos? Ultra-(un)-sharp(ed)? posted by tmcw at 4:33 PM on October 26, 2008
Yes, we have come a long way from the original photo of Bigfoot, which would now be considered a "Blobsquatch".
The term "Blobsquatch" is used derisively within the subculture of Bigfootery, and in fact the etymology of the word itself was researched.
Close up and with high resolution photography, the Bigfoot in these photos is an obvious costume. But as Penn and Teller demonstrated, if such a costume is in motion and at a distance, even "reputable" Bigfoot research groups like the BFRO can be totally fooled. posted by Tube at 4:37 PM on October 26, 2008

Holy shit. Someone teach every other photography web page programmer ever how to do that instantaneous mouse hover auto-switch thing. That is so nice. posted by Caduceus at 5:03 PM on October 26, 2008

Fun/what/quirky portfolio and smooth interface. The siamese twins photo captured me for much longer than I would have liked. posted by not_on_display at 5:58 PM on October 26, 2008

But only good if the visitor has a high-speed connection, otherwise the images loading in the background, especially if they're large file sizes, prevent the interface from initiating until they're all loaded.
For my photography site, I opted for the mootools interface, javascript driven and non-flash. You've probably seen it in use at other sites as well.

He really ought not to go so all out when he's playing badminton with children--it kind of betrays some sort of human envy inferiority complex. posted by Burhanistan at 7:29 PM on October 26, 2008

On his other galleries with a double row of thumbnails, it doesn't work at all for the bottom row. Or I'm just dumb. posted by beagle at 7:32 PM on October 26, 2008
