I'm castle head myself, great stuff on your site by the way. Your castle is
absolutely gigantic!
My camera can do 1600 but I take my pictures at 1024. I like to take
pictures at one level above what I'll actually use. If my final pictures
are gonna be 640 then I take my pictures at 1024.
This is a good way of handling things because if you edit the picture or
modify it, the artifacts become negligible once you bump it down.

You wouldn't know it but there was a 2x4 brick wall holding this model up.
Because I did the editing at 1024 and then bumped it down you can't even tell.
I actually keep multiple versions of any image I'm gonna use. For my
website I had three different folders. This helps with version control and
what not.
Raw - 1024 no modifications.
1024edit - 1024 with touch up work.
640edit - same pictures as the 1024 edit just smaller.
If you have photoshop, there is a function called "save for web". I'm not
sure what it's doing from a technical level but it consistently gets me
smaller images than if i were to just "save as".
Hope that helps.

p.s. I think you should avoid using the flash when you take pictures of your
beautiful castle. I think you'll be a lot happier with the results.
