A recommended image size for this site is minumim 1500 pixels height or width.
Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. As such, you may want to scale your images down before uploading it on this site.
Images which has a 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the [[#Image_gallery|standard image gallery]].
When scaling a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width, it becomes 1125 pixels in height. Or in In case of a taller than wide image, i.e. in portrait format, it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels in height. Example of an 4:3 aspect ratio and 1500x1125 pixels image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]].
However, many cameras output different aspect ratios and size settings. Depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, you may prefer to scale your images down before uploading them onto this site. A free graphics application to scale images down is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp]. Alternatively, try the Pixlr online photo editor at http://pixlr.com/editor/ Or to avoid using a graphic application altogether, just upload your images in their original sizes and dimensions as they come from the camera.
