Then open localhost:8000 in a browser.
Example using srcset:
`jsx
...
/>
const LIGHTBOX_IMAGE_SET = [
{
src: 'http://example.com/example/img1.jpg',
srcset: [
'http://example.com/example/img1_1024.jpg 1024w',
'http://example.com/example/img1_800.jpg 800w',
'http://example.com/example/img1_500.jpg 500w',
'http://example.com/example/img1_320.jpg 320w',
],
},
{
src: 'http://example.com/example/img2.jpg',
srcset: [
'http://example.com/example/img2_1024.jpg 1024w',
'http://example.com/example/img2_800.jpg 800w',
'http://example.com/example/img2_500.jpg 500w',
'http://example.com/example/img2_320.jpg 320w',
],
}
];

Notes on srcset support:
The srcset attribute is supported by some modern browsers. Results of browser implementation and behaviour may vary. The sizes attribute uses the default maxWidth CSS property set to the image. By default this is 80% so 80vw.
Another thing to note is that 'h' or height in the srcset attribute does not yet exist. Because of the nature of the fixed height of a Lightbox this is problematic for portrait sized images. You will need to calculate what the best 'w' size for a portrait size ought to be given the height of the fixed viewport otherwise unnecessarily large images will be fetched. See issue: https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/picture-element/issues/86

Example using caption for the first image:
`jsx
...
/>
const LIGHTBOX_IMAGE_SET = [
{
src: 'http://example.com/example/img1.jpg',
caption: 'Sydney, Australia - Photo by Jill Smith',
},
{
src: 'http://example.com/example/img2.jpg',
}
];

Note that the caption is an entirely optional property, as can be seen in the first gallery on the example page. The first image has a single line caption, the second demonstrates multiline, and the remaining images are without captions, entirely.
