Using srcset:

images={[{
  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',
  ],
  thumbnail: 'http://example.com/example/thumbnailImg1.jpg',
  caption: "Image 1",
  thumbnailWidth: 180,
  thumbnailHeight: 320
},
{
  src: 'http://example.com/example/img2.jpg',
  srcset: [
    'http://example.com/example/img2_1024.jpg 1024w',
    'http://example.com/example/img2_800.jpg 800w',

General Notes

As the inspiration for this component comes from Google Photos, very small thumbnails may not be the most aesthetically pleasing due to the border size applied when selected. A sensible rowHeight default of 180px has been chosen, but rowHeights down to 100px are still reasonable.
Gallery width is determined by the containing element.
Image Options: thumbnail can point to the same resource as src, bearing in mind the resultant data size of the gallery and page load cost. Thumbnails of whatever size will be scaled to match rowHeight.
If you don't know your thumbnailWidth and thumbnailHeight values, you can find these out using any number of javascript hacks, bearing in mind the load penalty associated with these methods.
