Playing around with WordPress for another homepage which will have a lot of pictures I discovered the slimbox plugin which I think is really nice.
Only downside is, that you have to add the rel=’ lightbox’ to every picture you use. This isn’t handy. I found a post where this is fixed with some java-script.
I add slimboxjs.diff here, so it’s easier to apply:

I like this plugin even better:
