Site structure

Pictures are displayed in Flash, with http://p.webshots.com/flash/simpleImageLoader.swf or http://p.webshots.com/flash/fullsizeimageloader/FullSizeImageLoader_v1.swf

Picture pages have urls of the form http://<channel>.webshots.com/photo/<photo id>, with channel one of entertainment, family, home-and-garden, news, outdoors, pets, rides, sports, travel full list

On a picture page, e.g.,
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2248078140105543869vCJpvs,
the image url is stored in a params tag:
<param name="flashvars" value="src=http://image85.webshots.com/175/0/78/14/2248078140105543869vCJpvs_ph.jpg">
but there is also a normal img tag:
<img width="584" height="389" alt="" title="" src="http://image85.webshots.com/175/0/78/14/2248078140105543869vCJpvs_ph.jpg"/>

The fullsize link from the image page leads to
http://community.webshots.com/photo/fullsize/2248078140105543869vCJpvs (always community),
with another Flash object. This time the image path is in JavaScript, not in a params tag, and there is no fallback img tag.

The url of a fullsize image can be derived from the smaller url: replace _ph with _fs, e.g.,
http://image85.webshots.com/175/0/78/14/2248078140105543869vCJpvs_ph.jpg
has a fullsize version at
http://image85.webshots.com/175/0/78/14/2248078140105543869vCJpvs_fs.jpg
