Last year, I started a photography hobby. Soon after, I've created a place where I can share some of my work, without any attention-driven algorithms dictating the terms. Here's a technical write-up of my journey.
My photography site is now built with #Eleventy v3, all JavaScript code is migrated to #ESM, and common features I use in all my Eleventy project are now provided by the #Pack11ty plugin.
Doesn't “3,632 additions and 23,478 deletions” sound like a big improvement?
Much less specific code to maintain in the future! 🥳
Tag pages on my photographie site can now be
sorted by dates and popularity, just like galleries.
For example, here are the "night" photos sorted by popularity:
https://nicolas-hoizey.photo/tags/night/by-popularity/
This is all static HTML generated with #Eleventy, no need for any JavaScript here.
I added new ways to browse my photography website built with #Eleventy.
There were already galleries, like the list of countries I visited in Europe for example: https://nicolas-hoizey.photo/galleries/travels/europe/
Now, you can also see all photos from Europe at once, with 3 different sorting orders:
Enjoy!
I created a new page in my photography site to show some statistics about the settings used to shoot the photos I share there: apertures, focal lengths, ISOs, shutter speeds.
https://nicolas-hoizey.photo/statistics/
Do you think any other statistics could be interesting?
This is of course using #Eleventy 's collections and filters, based on photo data stored in Markdown files.
There are now pages on my photography site about the cameras and lenses I used to shoot the photos you can see:

Data are extracted from the photos' EXIF, and pages are still generated with #Eleventy! 😍
