My website... darkness notes:

2007-02-01 by sagaface

I have received a couple of emails letting me know that the photos look too dark on 
calibrated monitors (thank you!), and I wanted to address this issue for a moment:

My images are very dark in general, with high contrast and very little shadow detail by 
design. Printed, they look exactly as they should (thank you Clayton and BO!), matching 
my calibrated monitor to a T. Unfortunately, there is a very fine line between as dark as 
they are and too dark that gets crossed when viewed on differently calibrated monitors, it 
would seem...I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm going to put a thin border on the 
images and see if that helps. So, please let me know if the viewing is improved at all....I 
appreciate it!
