Album Snow and Winter Shots

I'm just learning landscape photography. Here is a first snow pic in Heber, UT. When you take a large picture, and want to upload it, what is the best way to save for web? I could go to save for web, and do a JPEG or PNG. Or I can resize it. It's resolution was 300 but when I change it to 72 for web it looks so much worse. Is this normal?

I usually just export to a set resolution (around 1000-1600px) with a set quality of 10/12 for most stuff. And yes, 72 dpi for sure. If you're using Lightroom or Aperture you can just set the export settings by batch. If I'm actually trying to optimize images for a website, I will use the 'save for web and devices' tool in Photoshop which crunches them down more and still does a good job of retaining quality.
 
I wondered about using the save for web, instead of changing the resolution to 72. I'll try that too. Thanks for the tips!

I'm a newbie to processing, but I've found 72 dpi is too small and makes a teeny tiny picture (I use Lightroom). For large size photos I post on the web I usually set at 100 dpi and in jpeg, 1000 pixels on the short side. I'm sure someone else knows a better way but this has worked for me and the files are manageable size.
 
Leaving Cedar Mesa a few weeks ago.

So I'm totally ready for shorts and cold beer in the shade weather...

How is in the world did you get such amazing shots of those Buck in the snow? Were you just hanging out in a snowstorm and they meandered your way? Those are seriously so incredible. Great shots!

I was hoping I could get some snowy river shots this weekend in Zion, but all the snow was gone. It still is a beautiful place in the winter. At my happy place. Zion is one of my favorites.

1-9-13 in Cottonwood Wash Narrows, which for the record is hard. A lot of snowy boulder hopping down in the canyon floor before it really narrows up. There are a few bypasses where you can go up around on the canyon rim, but snow kept me down inside. I was forced to turn around at a big triangular chockstone that would be doable with a little help from a buddy, but was ever so slightly too high to comfortably negotiate solo.

This is the spot where I had to turn around. In the guide book I read it said there were rocks built up to make the squeeze on the right not too difficult, but they must have washed away in a flood since the book was published. I am 6'1" for reference.

The progression of a sunset. I shot timelapse of a sunset, 1 photo per second from the beginning until I ran out of memory cards, something like 800++ images, I then did 3 stacks, one for the beginning, one for the middle, and then one for the end, I took the 3 stacks and blended in the best parts of each of them to create what you see here.stacked&stacked.jpg
