I had actually been thinking that myself.
Actually, I run my screen at 1200x1000 but my typical web window ends up
being about 1024x700.
I have thought about how the large pictures are a little "too" big. I would
prefer to post smaller ones and have some "optional' links to big ones.
They default scan of a 4x6 ends up being the size you see. I need to scale
it down a bit. Perhaps this would make them clearer as well.
Another annoying problem with models as big as mine is that any sort of
overall shot blurs all the details. If you use close-in shots though you
miss the "busy" feel. Perhaps a lot of small pictures (like you recommend)
with a few large ones would be better.
I plan to do another LEGO city 2 photo shoot in a few weeks (with a better
camera). I'll try scanning a different mix of sizes as well.
P.S. I have a high bandwidth connection so it's hard for me to see how slow
it comes in over a modem. Are you running a slower link? If so, is it
excessively slow?

| It would be really nice if browsers could scale images down to fit a the screens resolution; afterall, many picture viewing utilities do that automatically.

| Just started looking at your site, and I like what I have seen so far. I take it you built your site at 1024x whatever resolution? You are not the only one who posts big beautiful pictures, but it does make it difficult for those of us at 800x600 (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
