Anyway, once it's on the net, if someone wants to steal it they will. But believe, it becomes different with big pictures http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ This is a risk The Boston Globe chose to take it.

The other thing that scares me about Flash is the SEO implications...you need to make sure that you are ranking. @Scott: Flash is an option to help protect your images, but I really think that if someone wants an image you post badly enough they are going to get it.

Maybe if the images were smaller with the option to look at the bigger image (kind of like Flickr) it might be better? Still wondering if encapsulating the photo inside a flash wrapper if it could help prevent theft? Nah, someone would figure out a way around it ... they always do, right?

I guess I was thinking that big money books, magazines or advertising agencies wouldn't be able to successfully use lower res, smaller images. Good point about larger images possibly increasing the amount of viewing time. I wonder if flash enabled photoblogs are better for this. I've seen a few of these and generally have been annoyed at the flash, but maybe they have a good idea after all.

If someone is simply looking for images for their website then even smaller images will suffice. As soon as you publish your image online its up for grabs. I think that the advantage of having larger images is that they tend to engage the viewer more and maybe (haven't tested this) increase the amount of time people spend looking at your images... Any thoughts? @Scott: I think that the size of your images doesn’t make a difference on whether or not your images are used without your permission.

Any thoughts?

Are there any advantages of having the images be larger on photoblogs? Scott Hmmm … wouldn’t photographers run the risk or increasing the chance of their images being stolen and used with out their permission.

Are there any advantages of having the images be larger on photoblogs?
