The high-number pixel photos are a definite problem, even with high-speed connections. They're slow to transmit, and have to be re-sized once sent.

I've started using the lowest setting on my camera for photos to be exclusively posted here and on the rest of the Internet. Saves tons of time!

I agree Joe. My camera is one of those 'old' 4MP cameras. I use it primarily on 'medium' setting, files are about 350KB, much more manageable than 1.2MB and up. But even my files seem to drag along now, must be puter issues on my end, I'll live with them until I get frustrated enough to upgrade. I also keep my computer cleaned of temp files and other stuff to ensure my feeble memory (512K) is happy ($450 to upgrade to 1GB -- ouch!).

I shoot all my images at a fine setting and then simply resize any image to be used here (save AS, so you don't lose the original file). The problem with using less resolution: sure as heck, when you do get that OMG shot, you won't have enough resolution to make the image size you want... I'd rather start big and downsize as necessary. Most of the images I post here are in the 100k range.

Also, rather than repost images into the Delta Extravaganza image folder, here is a link to the images I have already posted in the Wild Blue cruising adventures thread:

Looking forward to seeing more images of the Delta/Bay cruise.

Best wishes,
Jim B.
