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. :-)

I also would like to see a Kb limit on posted pictures. I compress all my posted
jpeg with JPEG Wizard from Pegasus Imaging. None of my posted files are larger
then 350Kb and they are 1152 x 768. Pegasus’s more expensive Wizard has a
batch-processing feature that works nicely. This allows one to compress what
ever they wont to post in no time at all.
My camera is old but I can preview the pictures I have taken. It seems some
folks seem to miss the whole point of digital photography, if it is a bad shot
delete it and re-shoot. But I must admit that sometimes I have posted one or two
poor shots because I wanted to share a subject but had no good photo of it. On a
slightly different note, I have also seen people post multiple shots of the same
MOC from about the same viewpoint. Nothing like putting people to sleep with the
same photos. I don’t keep ever photo I take and I post much less then I keep.
Hey, how about a “MOC photography 101” and a “Brickshelf posting 101” for all us
users.

| (...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
