It's completely up to you. I've started sharing progressively larger images over the years, mainly to keep up with increasing monitor resolution. I'd prefer not to go too far beyond what I am doing now (which is typically 1200px max horizontally and 900px max vertically). My 1200x900 box does pretty well, allowing those with 1680x1050 monitors and larger to view the whole image without scrolling around. 6 years ago, I was sharing 640x480 pics max...then went to 800x600, then 1000x800, now 1200x900. For panoramic shots, I'll often go to 1500px wide.
I'd prefer people not be able to make large prints from the web shared versions of my prints, but that's about it. However, if you don't care if people use your images for whatever, then share away...it shouldn't be any skin off anyone else's nose....Show more →
I think that is pretty much my attitude as well. I post 1000px longest edge plus a small frame, so that those with laptops and smaller monitors aren't overwhelmed.
Would i be annoyed if i caught someone using my images commercially or passing them off as their own? Probably, but i don't make any money from photography (nor am i ever likely to) so i haven't really lost anything. I also tend towards the reasoning that if they have used my image without permission they weren't going to pay anyway. Of course such "thieves" shouldn't be encouraged by making it easy for them (i.e. by posting up full res pictures) but i'm not going to let fear of them stop me enjoying my hobby.
