Just a couple of general points.
I for one am only posting (can only post) photos to a fairly limited resolution (800 X 600 on photobucket) and perhaps less for speed of loading etc. I am sure others are doing the same.
However I have retained photos of much better resolution and can email on request. A lot of mine are 5MB files.
This would be particularly important if someone wants them for publication or if they want to significantly crop the image.
The second point is that I am waiving all copyright claims on anything I publish because any use of the photographs is only a commemoration, which is what we all want, right?
Interested in other people's views though.

The same goes for me. Once it is on this site my photos are open for anyone to use.

Also the same here. I have much larger files on the computer and probably will back them up to a CD should anyone ever need them.

People are free to use my photographs if they like, but I'd obviously prefer them to ask before using them.
