  The recent posts widget can be set to show different numbers of posts (I think 10 is the maximum.

  The main post page can be set to show different numbers of posts.

  Given that there are still a very good number of people on slower internet connections, and given you are using a lot of images, I would limit the main page to showing perhaps 3 posts, 5 at the most. You always have to think of the visitor. If it take too long for the page to load, they typically will hit the back button and/or go elsewhere.
