And this one I posted on Facebook the other day: https://photos.app.goo.gl/m6YER49tK1mJAoXb6 – Our yard, after Matt pruned the backyard tree and Sandy and I cleaned up all of the branches and leaves.

Those are hosted on Google Photos in their original size – 9000 x 12000, or 108 megapixels. I love the detail when you zoom in, I just wish my website could handle this image size. I was able to modify my php.ini file to accept up to 120 meg file sizes, which I assumed would be fine, since the Halloween photo above was the largest of the two photos, at 47mb. It uploaded to WordPress just fine, but then failed the “Post-processing,” whatever that is. A script or something ran out of memory. It’s probably the script that generates smaller versions of the same image for WordPress to use as thumbnails or for mobile viewing.

Either way, it still isn’t able to complete the upload process, so I can’t get photos this large to display on my website. It’s also pretty inconvenient to display them in their full size. Every app and browser I have viewed them in so far always wants to display it much smaller (and clearer) that its real size, but I want to be able to easily view them at 100% to see the detail. FastStone image viewer does a pretty decent job, but you have to first download the photo to your computer, then open it to view it in an app.

I was hoping to be able to have a user just click on a photo on my website and view it in whatever size they want to. Apparently that’s not so easy to do. Or it’s not very practical. I guess that makes sense. I sure like looking at the detail of these at 100% though. I can see just how much detail is (and isn’t) actually there. And I can see just how fuzzy and shaky my photography skills really are too. I need to try these with a tripod. Wow, I can imagine how much better they’d be that way. Probably no difference you could tell really, until you zoomed in to 100% like I mentioned.
