(which is what happens when you click on a sample image at girldotcom.com)
It looks like you have those full-sized photos compressed somewhat (they're only around 30K), are those what full sized non-compressed images look like, or am I mistaken? I'm hopefully shooting content not this weekend but next.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

You're not referring to "full-size" samples. Those are simply bigger than the thumbnails. My full-size images are 880x660 and since more or less compression is available depending upon how much opportunity for compression is in the shot (more large solid areas mean more compressibility), the files vary in size from 50K to 180K. They average somewhere around 100K (this is across all of my sets, not any particular set).
Photos for web use have to be compressed somewhat, or even as JPG's the file sizes would be huge. I generally compress at an industry standard 15% (or 85% depending upon which way of figuring you do). Anyway, that means 15% off the least amount of compression JPG allows. This yields a quality that is largely indistinguishable from "uncompressed" without actually putting them side-by-side and zooming in on them.
