For most users the Overlay type of image display is the best, it shows background information about where the picture was take and you can click/tap the left and right sides to move to the last/next picture which will have been preloaded to display quickly. The number of the picture and total number is also displayed along with the image name. Usually the total number of pictures in the 'gallery' is every picture on the page but I have an option to split the pictures into groups ie when there are several different places or subjects on the page.
The popup option (only available on computers) has the advantage that they can be positioned to the side allow access to the page, popups are however now blocked on many browsers and is really only present for existing users who are used to it. Use Settings if you really want to try it. Less...
We had 37 days in New Zealand which broke down into two main parts. This part is a photo Gallery of our time in Auckland with Ralph and Chris then Waiheke Island with Jenny, Kev, Kerri and Jaz before sailing Kev's beautiful Trimaran Shanti which we took out to Great Barrier Island with Kev, his first visit to Great Barrier. We then crossed back from Great Barrier to Tutukaka, where we met up with David Bott who has a similar Piver Lodestar Trimaran and was on his way down from the Bay of Island to the Hauraki Gulf. We then went on up the coast mooring on the way at Wangamumu which has an old whaling station and then on to the Bay of Islands where we stocked up at Russell before returning back down the coast, again stopping at Tutukaka then Kawau and back to base on Waiheke. We were lucky on the weather most of the way and had three days where we covered more than 55 Nmiles.
