If you are using a rotating program on the front page of the website. It is necessary to crop your photos.

In general when you crop the photos, you will loose two-thirds of the photo.

(Note: Depending on the design of your website, the slideshow dimensions will be different. If you would like to crop your own photos, I can provide with the exact dimensions.)

For example:

Here is a normal photo from a standard camera phone.

panaramic-example-1000

Here is what the photo would like if you cropped it 1000 x 300 pixels.

panaramic-example-1000-300

Another example:

pete-example-1000

As you can see, since this photo is a close up, it doesn't really work as a wide photo.
