The continuing story of the Shrimpton Family ...
Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, Spring Break 2006
Welcome
Thanks for stopping by to visit our little corner of the world wide web. We hope to keep our family and friends up to date with what we've been doing, with a few pictures thrown in for good measure.
For the less "web-savvy" amongst you, try clicking on the pictures, to see more of our photo albums and larger images. The titles of most blog entries are also links to our photo albums.
For those who know their way around the web, we've noticed that the wonderful Firefox seems to do a far better job of displaying these pages than Internet Explorer. For a very cool near 3-D, full-screen picture experience over a broadband connection, try downloading PicLens before browsing our albums. We're sure you'll be amazed.
If you know us then don't hesitate to eMail us if you like what you see. You can reach us using the following address:
Surname [dot] Family @ GMail.Com
where Surname is, you've guessed it, our surname, Shrimpton! Yes, we've made it this convoluted to keep out the email spammers.
Cheers. Rob, Susan, Sarah, Emily and Gabriella.

Behind the scenes
Most pictures taken prior to May 2005 are from a Canon PowerShot G2 (with a few from Lionel's Canon PowerShot S30).
Most pictures taken after that are from a Canon EOS Rebel XT that continues to produce fantastic images. Since 2009 we've also added a Canon Vixia HF10 Camcorder to our arsenal, along with a smaller Casio EX-Z90, that the girls often use.
To manage the thousands of photos we take every year we use:
- Microsoft SyncToy to move files around between laptops, desktops, flash drives, compact flash cards and SD cards.
- A homebrew Java program to rename photo files.
- Microsoft Pro Photo Tools software (on Windows XP Professional) to label our photos. More recently Windows 7 has served this function well.
- Google's Picasa to categorize and upload our photos.
- Multiple Google Picasa Web Album accounts to host our photos online.
- Firefox for most web browsing, with some Google Chrome usage too.
