Enough is enough. I've added some slide shows on the photography page. I've been to Hythe in Kent and RHS Wisley in Surrey.
When I've finished working through my Spain photos I'll upload them too.
I have abandoned the LightRoom generated slideshow idea as the Flash based controls didn't work properly on all browsers and the HTML based templates just weren't very good.
After a bit of searching around I've found a great Ajax control that uses the jQuery light box control. I got it from here.
It seems to work really well.
I have built a little user control. All I now need to do is export some photos from LR, include a new folder under photography and update my XML data file with the path, title and a description. Magic!
Next up I need to change this page as it's all hard coded HTML :-)
December 2011
I've spent too much time working, photographing, playing games and generally living life to spend anytime on this website.
I have dropped the old Esher college course photo sets and will post Lightroom generated slide shows on the photography page.
Hopefully, a new website will appear in 2012. Watch this space!
November 2010
I have started working on two Silverlight controls.
The first is a slide show photo browser to replace the Flash based slide shows (that incidently don't work when I publish the site) produced by Adobe Lightroom.
The second control is a deep zoom header that will show all the images in the particular folder in one block.
Too see what deep zoom looks like, go here.
The other important stream of development is to turn this page into a database form.

To get you started, for a great source of Technology reviews and news, go to the excellent Trusted Reviews site.
From late 2008 to early 2009 I embarked on a series of photography courses at the local
Esher college. To see the kind of things we got up to, click on the Photography button at the top.
This site was generated with Visual Studio 2010. I have to say, over the years I've been programming - this tool has come along way.
Like 'em or loath 'em, they do a lot for the development community!
