Good idea, I did just such a thing myself, deleting all my socials and only posting my photos to my own website: https://dombarker.co.uk/

Was fun to make 'just a website' for a change too.

Beautiful photos! And the site is very nice looking too .

Can I ask what you do wrt the photo storage for your site? I'm looking to get back into photography and don't use Instagram etc, so want somewhere to post. Wondering how I might set up my own site for this purpose. Thanks

		thank you very much :) I use google cloud buckets for the raw storage, and then Imagekit as a CDN / transform layer (to prevent direct access and to crop/resize etc). the rest of if it is a nextjs app router jobby. All your regular LLM's will be able to generate one of these for you quite straightfowardly

I have done the same, but your website is really nice! And your photos are lovely. I like how you've indicated which cameras and gear you use for certain trips.

That 600mm Sony lens must be fun to carry around. I used to have a Tamron 150-600mm lens for my Nikon, but my wife said it looked ridiculous, so I got rid of it. So now I'm mostly on M43 for portability.

		I dont think its too bad! I have it on a peak design strap and have it on my back diagonally. It probably does look ridiculous, but im sure them camo outfit is just as bad as the camera! Yes the OM-System stuff is awesome, i think its the only thing that would tempt me away from Sony the camera data is all in the EXIF so it was pretty easy to do. Good olde CRUD apps are a joy to build now!

Gorgeous photos. One point of feedback: I went to your shop to view prints, and while it was nice to see them "in situ", I couldn't see the actual images because of how they small they were in frame!

I run something similar, ish: https://photos.rymc.io/

I still have an account or two elsewhere, but all photos get posted here then linked there with decent open graph previews.
