Good guesses but I haven't been able to verify any of them.

Anyone not on broadband would probably watch those pics load until
tomorrow.
5616 x 3744 ?


who is not on broadband?

Gunner raises his hand....

And it appears that your end was imposing bandwidth limitations
on it -- because it took me a lot longer than I expected with a T1 feed
to download each.

Aside from that -- you're releasing lots of information about
your camera by posting an un-edited photo. Here is some of what is in
the exif data on one of those photos:

These, selected out of 206 total lines.

One of the lines mentioned Microsoft in there, so perhaps you
did edit it, but not using a program which would remove the original
exif data. It looks as though it was modified about six hours after it
was taken, which implies some out-of-camera processing.

In particular, the mention of the camera and lens serial numbers
might make it easier for someone to claim that you have stolen their
camera -- or to find it if it happened that you had stolen the camera
from someone else -- which I don't expect.

So -- the use of a program which can be told to sanitize the
exif data might be a good idea. Whether your program can be told to do
that, or whether you need another program for that, I don't know. I
actually have to take special steps to keep the exif data in the
processed image.

Enjoy,
DoN.

FWIW, 52 seconds for me for the 8 MB file.

For screen viewing, reducing it to 500 kB still gives maximum screen
resolution at full-screen size.

And cropping out the incompressible background mat reduced
the file size to 3 MB without reducing the resolution of the
main subject. (Why do people insist on 'interesting' looking
backgrounds?).
