Albums

This page is for photo albums that I wish to share with my friends. These albums will download re-sized images designed to be viewed from a web page.

If you'd like a copy of any of them at full resolution to print, then email me with the picture name or URL and I'll email it back to you.

There will be a mixture of styles. Currently I'm using Google's Picasa for my online albums. I also have other albums done with Gallery or Coppermine. There may also be some ancient albums created with: Yahoo's Flickr or generated with Ulead's Photo Explorer.

bulletBIG6 - A group of 6 of us from Beeston Musical Theatre Group. We like to go to show weekends in London, long weekend trips away, concerts and good food and wine. Nowadays there are actually 7 of us.
bulletBMTG - Beeston Musical Theatre Group. Cheryl and I sing for this group. These pictures are from their annual events such as their weekend away, the Annual Dinner Dance etc. Their website is here.
bulletJMA6 - A group of 6 of us that used to work for James Martin Associates. Similar to the Beeston 6 we like to travel to historic cities for long weekends away, we like walking in Ireland and other scenic places, pub quizzes and good food and wine.
bulletJMA WALKS - A larger group of us that used to work for James Martin Associates. We formed a walking group in the early 90s and we still go walking together today.
bulletFLYING - I learned to fly in 2001 and now have a private pilot's license with IMC and night ratings. I have a share in a Piper Warrior G-FLAV.
bulletMOTOR CYCLES - I like to ride bikes.

bulletWORK - I worked for Intec Telecom Systems until May 2010 when they became a part of CSGI International. Whilst most business trips see little more than the inside of a hotel and offices, some do have good photo opportunities and these, few though they are, can be seen here. Currently I'm working on contract to Jumar Solutions - I don't really do business trips any more so my Jumar pictures will be mostly of social events.
bullet CANTATA - link to Cantata's photos page. Cheryl and I used to sing for Cantata.

Types and Styles of Albums

Picasa Albums

Google's Picasa software and online albums are so powerful and friendly and free that I have now switched all of my offline albums to use Picasa and the latest of the online albums to use it.

Picasa online albums can be...

bulletUnlisted - people can't find them but if you give them a link then they can freely view the album
bulletProtected - the album is not only unlisted but also has a password to control access to the album (this option isn't clear to me - the documentation implies a password is needed but when I try using this option then it seems that what is actually required is that the person viewing the album needs to have a Google account and be logged on to it. In other words you give access to Google accounts and people log in to see the pictures.

Other types of Album

This site also uses embedded albums by Coppermine and Gallery. Both of these are quite sophisticated and since they have no storage limitations my albums can reside there indefinitely.
