Dear Lewis,
the picture you have presented here is very promising and I would like to have a
closer view into the design features. But when I try to have a look at your
brickshelf pictures, I see these are all photographed in utterly high
resolutions. And I am surfing via lame 56k phone modem and have to wait for ages
till any pictures are visible.
So I would like to beg you (and any reader!) to break your pictures down to a
reasonable size (I prefer old 640x480 VGA-style, but do not mind SVGA 1024x768).
Anything bigger than SVGA is needless and causes only huge data transfer.
If you (or anyone else) want to present details, please take a close up shot of
the important spot and load this up as additional picture.
In many cases pictures are even huge and fuzzy. It is a matter of fact, that
resized pictures appear to be sharpened. Fuzzy pictures will be the worse the
higher the resolution is. So please resize your pictures when done via cell
phone camera etc.
In your case, Lewis, the pictures are telling us, that your camera is brilliant
(may I ask for the brand and type?)! On the other hand this brilliant camera
tells me about your cat’s colour, but the huge resolution “hides” the building
tricks that you want to share... (see footline scrrenshots).
Sorry for this criticism. But I dislike to see more and more
monster-mega-pixel-pictures uploaded at brickshelf. And the latest cameras go
into the 10 Mega-Pixel area and internet newbies with broad band connections are
very unthoughful with data amounts. The new resize feature of brickshelf is even
more confusing for none-experts, who may believe that their pictures become
resized (in data size). But that is not the case: The picture is not really
broken down by brickshelf but only for your browser’s display. You still have to
download megabytes of data in order to see the “resized” picture.
I would appreciate, when people would try to take care for data size. Use
reasonable resolutions and avoid BMP and word documents as picture format.
Even the better would be a solution, in a manner, that brickshelf broke
automatically down all pictures to a maximum width of 1024 pixel
The 1000steine member gallery does this in a perfect way: uploaded pictures are
stored as uploaded, in resized resolution (if oversized) and in thumbnail
resolution. First you see the thumb, then the resized picture and the third
“click” leads to the original size.
Thanks for reading this far....
Leg Godt!

P.s.: Screenshots I took from your brickshelf gallery (and this has been the
only picture I have fully downloaded, which took a few minutes):

I used to take all my pictures on a simple point and shoot camera, and thus did not have to do any resizing. We just got a new camera (Nikon D50for (...)
