First off, nice pictures of very nice equipment, thanks for sharing them.
Looks like you've got the process down pat, they both showed up in your posting, can't ask for better than that.
Regarding the guidelines/rules on images, the formal spec. is a maximum width of 640 pixels, and a maximum height of 480 pixels. the height isn't so important as the width. The main reason for the 640 pixel width is to help prevent having to scroll right & left just to read the replies because of a too wide image.
You didn't mention what operating system you are working from e.g. Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or something else, or which brand of browser you are using e.g. Microsoft/Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, or something else. Or the the software that your are using to copy your pictures off of your camera. So it's kinda of hard to advise you about resizing your images.
As it stands with what you've posted above both are not causing any problems. Just as a FYI (for your information) type thing.
The first image that you posted i.e. steam1.jpg.
[*]It measures 511 pixels wide x 466 pixels high [*]The file size is 113,570 Bytes [/list]
The second image posted i.e. loco.jpg
[*]It measures 768 pixels wide x 576 pixels high [*]The file size is 161,477 Bytes. [/list]
You may well ask how I came to know the above, if you point to one of the images with your mouse and right-click it. A context menu will display, at the bottom most likely you'll find the Properties item listed. Point to this item with your mouse and when highlighted left-click it. Now you will see what's called the Properties page for that image. two of the bits of information listed on the page are the file size (file size in Bytes) and the dimensions width and height in pixels. To clear/close the Properties page click the Cancel or OK buttons at the bottom of the page.
Even though one of the images exceed the width guidelines it shouldn't cause any problem, because niether will require left-right scrolling to read the thread, and should not cause one of the moderators to change them to links. The file size is a bit large (i.e. recommended 60K Bytes or less). This is mainly as a courtesy to individuals that are on slow dial-up modem connections.
If you'll give us some information regarding what software you working with then maybe we can help guide you through how to re-size the image and maybe compress (i.e. smaller file size in Bytes) the files a bit.
Hope the above is found to be of help.
