Bo, I was thinking – the 1280×1024 resolution is pretty common these days, and with dual screens that grows to 2560×1024. Under this width even your panoramas don’t look really well. Any chance you could up the resolution on panoramas alone? I wouldn’t mind the site’s logo in a corner in exchange!
On your request – and a thing I wanted to do for a while now – I’ll start oploading my photo’s in their original aspect and resolution, from this day on.
(and I’ll replace this photo, with a highres photo soon, for you to download)
Thanks Bo, that’s awesome! I can see the first hi-res pic on the front page already, but aren’t you afraid the huge files will turn away visitors with lower grade connections? Downloading a 6MB image alone might mean trouble for some, not to mention whole front page of these. If there’s one more thing I might suggest is that you tweak your theme to serve low resolution image first, and then a high-res version on request. Right now the original image is downloaded and made resized by the browser locally instead which demands a lot of memory on the client side.
Your welcome Bartek.
I see what you mean with the large files, I re-sized the Jpeg files as much as I can without loosing to much quality. and now the are around 1MB i size.
That’s the best I can do, cause I don’t know who to tweak the theme to do as you suggest, I think it requires some coding, and I have no clue how to do that /
I also uploaded a new “version” of the Grand Canyon photo for you, Enjoy.
Oh, I’m sorry Bo – I’m a software dev so it’s probably the habit talking through me. I bet there are WordPress plugins to do what I’ve described, let me review the options and contact you by mail. Perhaps there will something intuitive enough not to dig in the code.
That would be very nice of you.
But there might be a problem with that, cause the way I show the photo’s is through the theme, and not the “normal” WP way. hope that made some sense to you.
But if you find anything, I’ll be glade to give it a shoot, would be nice if it worked out.

Thanks! Our dual-monitor desktops love those panoramas!

And my panoramas love your dual monitors
Glad you like the photo, Bartek

Hey Bartek

Thanks for tagging along.

No worries Bartek.
