Me!

Gallery published , updated by Richard Goodwin

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.

If you ever go to Leighton Moss, remember to take bird food.

We had a female pheasant come begging food, and after hand-feeding it the seed we found in the corners of our pockets it walked with the group for several minutes.  All of the robins came and looked at us accusingly, and when I went to take pictures at the feeders one robin came and sat next to my elbow until I went to get it some food.

Spurn NR, October 2016

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).

St. George's Day, Nottingham Castle, 2007

I think this may have been the first big St. George's Day festivals in Nottingham after people realised that more was made of the special days from other countries (e.g. St. Patrick's Day) while our own kind of went unnoticed.

Apparently the Nottingham one is now one of the biggest.

A fun day geeking out over Navy tech, including going inside an actual submarine (HMS Alliance).
