My web photo site allows me to size photos about any way I want. Posted
photos should be kept small; they're for display on computer screens.

I think both have their place. Personally, since I have broadband, I
prefer to view a hi-res version of a photo. My viewer automatically
scales the photo to my screen size, but if I want to zoom in on an area,
the extra resolution can be a big help. As an example, I was viewing
Eisboch's lovely winter photo. I was curious about the vehicle parked on
the side of the house and tried zooming in tight on it to get a better
look at it. The image quickly became pixelated, and I wasn't able to
glean much detail. Had it been posted in its native resolution, I would
have been able to get much more detail when zooming. Also,I appreciate
being able to look at the EXIF data of a photo to get a feel for how it
was shot.

On the other hand, a photo site is a great place to view someone's photo
albums or portfolio. Most sites allow a portfolio to broken down into sub
sections that can be organized by subject matter, or whatever the owner
chooses. I've been thinking about signing up on such a site, but don't
have a clue as to how to choose one over another. There's no shortage of
them, that's for sure. Any recommendations for a good site to join to
post a portfolio of photos?


Thanks for the "lovely" winter photo comment, but one small correction.
That ain't a house. That's Mrs.E's horse barn. The picture was taken from
the house.

When we bought this place I drooled over the barn and had all kinds of plans
for custom woodworking workshops and places to keep my "stuff". Fat chance.
Two 1000 lb pets moved in and I am not allowed in there.
