The maximum file size you can upload is 2GB. Any file over that size will not upload. You can upload all 100GB of pictures as long as they aren't individually 2GB or larger.

Here is the TechNet guide on 2010 limitations, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx.

There isn't per se, if you follow the TechNet information, they say content databases should not exceed 200GB. 100GB is under their recommendations so it's fine. They don't have limits on sizes of library content, just library metadata structure. – PirateEric Nov 16 '11 at 13:52

I think you can upload it if your DB can accommodate the space.For performance reasons,There are some threshold limits on no of items. See here : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx#ListLibrary

For optimal performance, you should organize it properly(using views or index colums) if the no of photos are >5000
