<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 618019, member: 19098"]Most photo sites use thumbnails to avoid so much clicking just to see what each picture is. At the link below there is a collection of bird photos using medium size thumbnails. Clicking on the thumb goes to the larger photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter?period=365&rank_by=sum&category=Birds&store_prefs_p=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter?period=365&rank_by=sum&category=Birds&store_prefs_p=0" rel="nofollow">http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter?period=365&rank_by=sum&category=Birds&store_prefs_p=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If the above link is too long start at:</p><p><a href="http://photo.net/gallery/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://photo.net/gallery/" rel="nofollow">http://photo.net/gallery/</a></p><p>then click on the "bird" category.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a coin site, you might consider displaying the entire set on one page with small thumbnail images (80x80 pixels), with the coin description under each small image.
