But generally, Tim’s rant isn’t against large photos of highly detailed MOCs
that benefit from closer viewing. It is against 5000x7000 photos of blurry,
poorly made pieces thrown together, as if by trained monkeys. Then, when
these horrible pictures are posted again and again by trolls in forums,
which wastes bandwidth with crap.

Ahh. Point taken. The blurry crap pics on BS frustrate me to no end. I
know everyone can’t be a professional photographer, but c’mon...let’s at
least get the subject in focus. :-) I like the idea of cropping. I’ve been
doing that with more and more of my non-LEGO pictures. I never thought of
using it to show details in LEGO MOC’s. I’ll have to give that a shot. For
the record, my screen resolution is 1280x1024 on my laptop and desktop.
That’s probably why I favor the 1024x768 and 1600x1200 pics. It’s all about
screen resolution. :-)

Hi Dave,
Lenny has pretty well summed up my argument (although I’m happy with a slightly
larger photo size). On the whole I care less about dimensions and more about Kb
wastage. With decent jpeg compression you can have a pretty large pic with
details clearly visible so for those who take the effort a filesize limit
wouldn’t make a difference. Many people just don’t seem to bother with such
details as filesize and picture quality so a Kb limit would force them to think
about what they do with their pictures before uploading them. Perhaps my limit
is too low but I think that some limit is a neccessity.
