How simple we could code it ?

let us assume a div tag with class and child div containing images like this below.to maintain the image we are giving constant width as 300px and gallery size as width 1300px.
html code:
<div id="gallery" style="width:1300px;"> <!--- your gallery---- !>
<div class="gallerychild"><img src="path/to/your/first image" width="300" /></div>
<div class="gallerychild"><img src="path/to/your/second image" width="300" /></div>
<div class="gallerychild"><img src="path/to/your/third image" width="300" /></div>
<div class="gallerychild"><img src="path/to/your/fourth image" width="300" /></div>
</div>

now let us make the gallery look and allign neatly as pintrest gallery.applying jquery.masonry.min.js with respective arguments as options.

<script src="./jquery.js"></script>
<script src="./jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(function(){
    var $container = $('#gallery');
       $container.imagesLoaded( function(){
      $container.masonry({
        itemSelector : '.gallerychild'
      });
    });
   });
</script>

let us little CSS to our Image Gallery.

.gallerychild{
border: 1px solid #69F;
margin: 10px;
box-shadow: 0px 0.1px 0px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3),  0px 5px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6); 
       height: auto; float:left;
 }
