What did I do wrong - photos gone

[allan473]

I had about 400 images on my iPhone organized into perhaps 30 albums. I backerd them up to my Mac Pro at home.
I am away from home for two months. Two days ago I got a message saying I had not backed up my iPhone in 10 weeks. I thought I would back it up to iCloud where I have 50 gb. I did.
Yesterday, I wanted to show photos to a friend. I discovered the only photos on my phone were the 40 or so in my camera roll. The others are all gone.
What do you think I did wrong?

Sounds like you turned on the option to offloaded the photos, but I thought the portrait was still there when you did that. I don't know. I've always had plenty of space and never turned that on.
