This website belongs to Mark Roper, an ORCi accredited amateur photographer travelling around the UK primarily attending short oval track events.
I have a Facebook page for displaying my photos (https://fb.me/photo114) but Facebook reduces the quality of uploaded images, reducing them in both physical size and resolution. I wanted to be able to display my images in something approaching their original quality.
I also tend to post a lot of pictures on Facebook due to taking a somewhat “journalistic” approach to a race meeting (i.e. post a load of pictures, regardless of quality, to convey the events that took place at that meeting).
With this website I aim to produce fewer, better quality images, free of the constraints of Facebook as a platform and of the process of attaching them to a specific event.
