I was doing some work on a client's site and thought I'd need some pictures of a specific aspect ratio, but couldn't think where to find them so after a little research I came up with this:

We're looking for thumbnails  with  a  classical  3:2  aspect ratio on a
canvas 900px wide and we'll create a slideshow using jQuery lightbox. If
our images are 300px wide and 200px tall (landscape) that'll allow us to
have 3 on a row, alternatively we might have images that are 200px  tall
and only 133.333px wide (portrait) which'd be a bugger!

So  we need to find an alternative sizing which'll work better... except
I don't think therre is one so  we could change the aspect ratio to 4:3?
900/4 = 225px

Actually that's bollocks as Phil has pointed  out  that  a  good  sapect
ratio  would be 3:2 as we could have a row of 4 landscapes at 225px wide
and 150px tall or a row of 6 portraits at 150px wide and 225px tall.

That means we have can mix and match and have a set of 3 portraits and 2
landscapes on a row!

And using:

http://www.alltheweb.com/search?cat=img&cs=iso88591&q=dressage+aspect%3A
150+height%3A333&rys=0&itag=crv

allows us to find landscape images  of the correct aspect ratio and size
(333px tall)! Where as:

http://www.alltheweb.com/search?cat=img&cs=iso88591&q=dressage+aspect%3A
66+height%3A500&rys=0&itag=crv

gives us portrait images of the correct aspect ratio and  size  for  our
slideshow!

Ahh nuts:
