How to handle responsive image in bootstrap on smaller media? - html

Question

Hi I am new in using bootstrap and I am not very good handling responsive image in bootstrap.
So here is my question.
I have images result formation like this on 992px:
but when I change my screen width to smaller media (e.g:520px) the images come in line with no gaps in it.
It become like this.
I want it like this with padding(gaps) in it.
here is my HTML code:
<!--two columes 3/1-->
<div id="first" class="row">
<div class="col-md-8"><img src="http://placehold.it/640x450" class="img-responsive"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"><img src="http://placehold.it/300x450" class="img-responsive"></div>
</div>
<div id="clean">
<!--two columes 3/1-->
<div id="second" class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<img src="http://placehold.it/640x100" class="img-responsive">
<br>
<br>
<img src="http://placehold.it/640x330" class="img-responsive"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"><img src="http://placehold.it/300x470" class="img-responsive"></div>
</div>
<!--two columes half half-->
<div class="row" id="third">
<div class="col-md-6"><img src="http://placehold.it/470x470" class="img-responsive"></div>
<div class="col-md-6"><img src="http://placehold.it/470x470" class="img-responsive"></div>
</div>
<!--four columes-->
<div class="row" id="forth">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"><img src="http://placehold.it/250x250" class="img-responsive"></div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"><img src="http://placehold.it/250x250" class="img-responsive"></div>
<!-- Add the extra clearfix for only the required viewport -->
<div class="clearfix visible-xs"></div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"><img src="http://placehold.it/250x250" class="img-responsive"></div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"><img src="http://placehold.it/250x250" class="img-responsive"></div>
</div>
And here is CSS:
#first
{
padding:20px;
}
#second
{
padding:20px;
}
#third
{
padding:20px;
}
#forth
{
padding:20px;
}
And this is its fiddle

Answer 1

You can use two sets of images.
<div id="first" class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<img src="http://placehold.it/640x450" class="img-responsive hidden-xs hidden-sm">
<img src="http://placehold.it/700x450" class="img-responsive visible-xs visible-sm">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x450" class="img-responsive hidden-xs hidden-sm">
<img src="http://placehold.it/700x450" class="img-responsive visible-xs visible-sm">
</div>
</div>
And the css can go like:
.img-responsive {
width: 100%;
}
It will be a good option to use 2 sets in this case because re-sizing a 640x450 image to 700x450 will alter its aspect ratio.

Bootstrap don't wan't to increase your images sizes- that's the deal.
Easy way to solve the problem:
use this meta-tag <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
and media queries, like this:
#media all and (max-width: 699px) and (min-width: 520px), (min-width: 1151px) {
img {
width: 700px;
height: auto;
}
}
It's just example. Change exactly width of query for your need.
