Back before social media was a thing, someone said it was vain to have a page with my pictures on. But now we have Twitter and Facebook and Instagram so who's laughing now? Now I guess the question is more: why do you still have a personal website?  Well at least it gives me a place to back up my photos that I actually have some control over.

I'm more comfortable behind the lens than in front, but a while back I started trying to keep a current picture on my site.  Before social media it was a lot harder to know what people looked like, which was a problem if you ever wanted to meet in real life.  Or just were really, really nosey.

Photos from the recent Spurn trip with the Nottingham RSPB local group.  Also a test of the new gallery system I've written, to see if it can handle the massive number of images.

One thing I've noticed is that some images upload quicker than others, leading to them going out of order.  I've tried to "upload" (I'm working on the local network) them in small batches, otherwise you'd have images all over the place (if there wasn't a 20 image per upload limit anyway).
