.....Houses of Parliament from the London Eye

My knees go wobbly just looking at your picture, I haven't dared go in it since it was built.

I was about a mile away acrossed the valley under a shelter. I wanted to practice capturing Lightning. It was Pouring so hard, wind was blowing the rain in my face and my camera,,, The small momument in the background is 306ft high. I though sure it was going to get hit.

If there's one teensy element that might have lucked out a bit better for you, it would have been nice if the left gateway could have been a bit less blacked-out, ie if you could've had a bit of a dark "see-through" of the trees beyond. But that's a small point about perfection, I guess. Because it's not like that detail 'spoils' the shot or anything. ;)


There is thick forestation on that side, the light is from the right. If I lightened just that part it would have thrown of the balance of the shot . The leaves on the wall anchors the shot. I try not to manipulate a photo if I can help it, As I am not perfect neither is my work..LOL...



Not to worry Tim...

With a properly calibrated and profiled display, you can clearly see the trees through the left arch (you can even count the 9 bars of the 'gateway')...


@ Beets...

Andrew Rodney has some great info on color management and why it's important for proper display of imagery on the computer monitor here...

(if your display is even close to being properly calibrated, you should be able to clearly see at least 18 of 20 patches in the step wedge below... if you can't make out the change between the 1st and 2nd on the left, don't worry too much... if you can't see the difference between the 2nd and 3rd, try adjusting the contrast on your display as a start.)








DANG!!! DELL did something right! (Is DELL still contracting Sony for their Monitors?) I am using a 19" LCD Display, (a 1702FP), and your I can see ALL 20 points of your included "Step Wedge".

AWESOME!
