We are opening up this post to give our members and visitors a chance to sound off on the merits of posting large images, or the lack thereof. Please feel free to post your cordial comments here.
As we who surf photo sites are all aware, digital camera advancements have created something of a fetish for posting very large images: one site is even posted 39-megapixel images now (the 7,000 pixel on the long side)! We think this a little silly, unless the viewer has a thing for image grain or skin pores.
We have followed suite to some degree by posting 4K-images (12 megapixels) which pretty much standard digital image size of the moment, when we feel the images support that. But but we do intend our images to be viewed as a whole, not as a windowed version that shows just a vignette of the whole image. So we post post both sizes to try to give people the best of oth worlds.
But we would like to know what you think of 4K-images: do you really enjoy seeing imags much larger than screen size, or would you rather have images that fit rationally on your screen?
See examples of our different images sizes here.
So give us the benefit of your thoughts. Which option do you prefer: Full 4K-images or standard 1200-pixel images? The viewing pleasure you enhance will be your own!

1200 may be a bit small, but 4000 is definately to big… the best thing you can do is give a download link for the larger sizes, no need for them to be hosted that large for viewing online…
