which photo sliders do you recommend for foundation?

I personally use Wowslider for my photo sliders. It is not a coffeecup product, unfortunately Coffeecup doesn't have one. You can get it by searching wowslider on Google.

So what is the Orbit component in foundation if it's not a slider?

thanks!

gotcha, I need more responsiveness in my photo albums, I'd like to ensure that they are attracting the customers well.

Orbit is as responsive as you want it to be. The problem nowadays with sliders/carousels etc (whatever youwant to call them, is that many users don't go past the first slide that is displayed, unless there is a really good reason for then.

When I do a slider (Orbit component) for a phoro album type of thing, I normally make the slide indicators as small thumbnail images (big enough for the visitor to see what they are and I remove the 'Autoscroll funtion, so that they have control over the thumbnail image that when they select it, the larger image slides into view. The thumbnail image (selected) had a different display (Hover/active effect so that they can easily see which one had been chosen.

Sometimes I even put an additional Call To Action or words describing the larger image, that appear after the large image has come into view. (A little trick taught to me by my mentor) (A known fact is that if you give the viewer a "Call To Action" of some sort, they are most likely to follow it.

Having said all that, I have to say, that doing something like that, isn't "BOG" standard orbit component, and takes a great deal of time customising.

this sounds awesome! do you have a sample html component that I can review? is there anything that is particularly similar in ingers' shop, perhaps? I'm very interested in this now.

Have a look at her MockUp page, I seem to remember that thereare a couple of components for the "Orbit" and also depending of the images (different sizes/aspect ratios etc, it might also be worth considering an Image gallery thing, and then use the "Modal Reveal" component to act like a slider, She also has a couple of examples there too on her mock up page.
