Like ukit says, depends on the site...
Other options...
Use a horizontal scroller that utilizes the scroll wheel from a vertical scroll. I use it in Flash on my site (it's controlled using arrow keys, mouse wheel, left and right arrows, as well as a clickable scrollbar).
I choose horizontal for a few reasons:
- I find it more natural to read and view from left to right as opposed to up/down.
- You can fit more than one project in the same browser space albeit smaller folio images.
- Allows a 'featured projects' view.Vertical is a good option if:
- You want to go straight to the large image rather than start from a thumbnail.
- Good for using anchors too.
- People are used to scrolling vertically.
