I wonder if a couple of you would do me a favour and check my flickr site. Im not after comments on photos asim only just setting it up and will be deleting and amending over the next few days.

reason im asking is that when i post something it seems a little dark compared to the original.
not sure whther its the monitor at home, my processing, or what...

I know you cant compare to the original but im after a general consensus as to whether i need to compensate when processing photos in lightroom for flickr.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks you

From what I see from most of the shot is a dark vignette on them. This can be removed in PS . Filter>Distort>Lens Correction. I hope this helps.

That could just be the "sigma wide" look though. ;)

They do all look on the darker side for exposure to me too.

I'd love to tell you why but I still live in the world where if a print was well exposed but looks a little dark, I turn the lights up. :D
 
Had a look on my monitor which is calibrated and they are looking Ok to me. Some of the skies look a little dark but then the clouds are white without being blown so overall I think they are fine.

The vignetting is because the 10-20 is so wide, you can sort it in photoshop if you want but I quite like it in most of them! But I may be odd :)
 
Some shots do look a little dark for my taste. I've viewed them in Firefox, and Safari and they look the same.

Do you have a calibrated monitor, if not this may be the reason, different applications rendering the images differently
 
Thanks all,

Much appreciated. As I thought they are a little dark.

Ive left the vignetting on purpose as i quite like it but if they are already coming up dark then i need to compensate and possibly remove.
te sigma 10-20 is great, except inportrait when i kept getting my feet in the frame lol!:lol:

My laptop monitor is calibrated using a huey pro but im working off my laptop which has an acer 'tru bright' screen and i dont think it gives a very good representation of dark/bright. I think i need to turn the screen brightness down and compensate using lightroom brightness.

Or just buy a decent monitor!!

thanks again. I may remove my flickr photos and re submit once corrected. May ask for a scond opinion soon so if i could use the same people again to comment it would be greatly appreciated as it would keep it consistent.:thumbs:
