Photographed and owned by me. Taken by me at a car show late last year. NOT to be reposted elsewhere without my permission.

Added a bit of CSS to force images posted on the forum to be scaled to a size no larger than 800px wide.

Doesn't affect the filesize (in this case 3mb) so it won't make the images load faster, but it WILL prevent them from being larger than the screen and engaging horizontal scrolling.

If you do want to resize them so they load faster, there are tons of online tools to resize images, but I'm sure you already know that. Like me you probably don't wanna keep multiple copies of the same image around, just keep the large one, because it's too complex to keep organized if you have a ton of images like I do (and like I'm sure you do as a photographer)

I have and use my own programs to crop, resize, etc. I do NOT use the online tools for my own images. we have a local car show every year in early October just 2 blocks from me. So I usually take 150-200 photos there every year. I also have and use a program that takes my photos and adds background music and makes a slideshow video of my photos. Also at the same car shows I also take lots of videos too. The videos get posted to my YouTube channel.
