One question to the people who use flickr lots, can people look at or download these photos at full resolution or would I be better to lower the size of the photos (and subsequently the size of the upload so I can get more uploaded photos). They are all currently 4288 x 2848 pixels in size.

Have a look at a few more of the photos at:

Feel free to add comments there too!

My personal opinion is to not upload anything larger than around 600 pixels on one side into Flickr or any other online location unless you have no problem with someone stealing and selling your photos. I know some folks aren't concerned with copyright infringement but if you are, this is something to consider.

At full size, someone can easily download the picture and use it for just about anything. At 600 pixels, all they can really get is a small picture that isn't useable for anything much larger than a 5x7 or so but still allowing folks viewing them online to see the detail.

This protects your copyrights to your photos a bit more. Nothing is 100%, but this is a bit of "preventive burn".
