I'll think about it. In the meantime, here's a summary I wrote...
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sarah.eggleston1/india_2007/figures.html

As for photos, the summary version of the trip is 258 (out of 2000-odd 
total), summing to about half a gig of jpgs, of course a zip of the set 
is equally unmanageable. I will probably go through and resize them to 
more internet-friendly sizes, then can upload to ntlworld or photobox or 
something. But it may take some time! I've already spent ages sorting 
out the reduced set and fixing the contrast. I accidently spent the 
first 4 months with my camera set on maximum exposure.

In a side rant, that was because my camera is a point and shoot with 
aspirations, so it has a short menu system, but the exposure setting 
isn't there! I spent ages looking. Turns out, it's on one of the arrow 
buttons during normal viewing - dead handy once you *know*, but 
irritatingly absent when you don't. I think Andy upped it to max rather 
than normal the last time he played with it. <mutter>

Oops, I've been getting bogged down in paperwork (phone, broadband, car, 
electricity/gas, council tax, water, tv licence, I'm sure I've forgotten 
a couple), which probably shows! One of the lovely things about 
travelling is that you don't have to worry about any of that lot.
