Pure CSS3 image hover transition

This is an image gallery Showcase with CSS3 Transitions/Animations on Hover. This will work on all major Browsers and we have also done a fallback for older browsers like IE. This can be very useful to corporate, business or even personal projects. Fully customizable and self-descriptive code.
