Website Overhaul

Hello once again!

I'd like to inform the visitors to ashleycorr.com that my website is in the early stages of an overhaul. I've decided to ditch the slide shows in favour of a more practical and presentable look, which will include a thumbnail pop-up gallery which displays larger images. At present the slide show window displays images at 600 pixels (long edge), and instead of trawling through a slide show to find a specific image, you can now view a selection of thumbnails as soon as you reach the page. By clicking a thumbnail image it will now reveal an enlarged image of 800 pixels (long edge), which is a big improvement and obviously more beneficial as far as detail is concerned. The musical accompaniment remains, and this will play from the moment you reach the page, until you leave it. As you can imagine, this project will take many hours to complete, and I'm hoping to chip away gradually over the colder months to finish each and every page. I've already completed 6 pages to date and hope to tick a few more off this week, as well as maintaining regular updates with new images. And if I've still got time to spare after work and family commitments, I might be lucky to get back out with the camera, he he. Oh well, plenty to keep me busy, eh.

We recently returned from a fantastic break in Venice, so look out for my new 'Night time' shots, coming soon. Our last visit, in 2011, was a one day visit as we were staying on the Italian mainland for a week, but this time we actually stayed in Venice for four days, seeing the place at night for the first time. Venice under the lights is something else, and we had our best holiday, even if it was a mini-break in Mid-September!

Plenty more photo updates to come...
