Photos

I have finally got caught up with my photos and they are now all posted on the web. Unfortunately, the site where I had them previously is closing down, so I have had to migrate them to a new site. The good news is that they are all in one place and they should stay put for a while.

To view them, go to www.flickr.com/photos/feelitturn. (Mom and Dad - you can just put your cursor right over the blue lettering and click and it will take you right there. Be sure to add it to your list of favourites.)

You will immediately see all my photos posted in the order in which they were uploaded, starting with the most recent. This isn't necessarily chronological. On the right hand side of the screen is a list of "sets" which are equivalent to albums. I have numbered them chronologically but unfortunately they don't show up in numerical order, so you'll have to scroll through them to find the album you want. It displays 10 sets at a time, but you can click on "more sets" at the bottom of the list to see all of my albums. Just click on the album you want and it will open for you. The album opens with thumbnail views of the photos. If you click on "Detail" under the title of the album in the upper left hand corner, you'll get bigger images with the titles and descriptions (assuming I've added any). You can click on any photo for a bigger image. After that, you can navigate through the photos using the arrows in the grey box to the right of the photo. You can also view the photos as a slide show by clicking on "view as slide show" at the top right of the screen when you're on the first page of the album. Note that if you haven't clicked on "Details" first, you won't get any titles in the slide show.

There was a bit of a learning curve for me on this site, but I think ultimately it's a good site. Mom and Dad - give yourself a bit of time to play around and you'll get the hang of it. Remember to use the "Back" button in the top left corner whenever you want to backtrack or you got yourself somewhere that you don't want to be.

I am generally a bit disappointed in the quality of my photos of Nepal. They all seem somewhat overexposed to me. I'm not sure if it was the weather (overcast on the Everest and Jomsom treks and very bright and dusty on the Mustang trek), the camera, the photographer or a combination of these factors that did it. One way or another I don't think I'll be winning any awards on these ones. Still, it should give you an idea of what things look like.

You're likely to be very bored with the Mustang photos, as the scenery didn't vary too much and all the villages look essentially the same. Still, I was so awestruck by the scenery and loved the villages so much that I just kept snapping away.

I hope you enjoy them.
