    You were taking pictures of the camp and surrounding areas, yes ? Was this part of your job description ? If so, than they have rights to them. If not !

    You still work there, yes ? I'd consider it a compliment to have my photos on the web. They must have liked your work. What would you have done with them anyway ? They were just for personal use anyway, were they not.

    These days, feel lucky to have a job.

    If your photos were taken during the commission of your job, or during working hours, then there isn't much you can do as they are company property.

    If they were taken during your free time, then that is something different and you will have to consult with a copyright lawyer to find out what your options are.

    There are to many variables to give you a definitive answer.
