They gave me a colour card (basically a card with various colours and photos on it) and the same card on file. I used that to adjust the output of my screen. It was a pretty basic adjustment but most of the time, what I see on my screen is what I have in hand. Except in this case, where the photos look aCritical Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609563350801160087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307177.post-1143224376740543722006-03-24T18:19:00.000+00:002006-03-24T18:19:00.000+00:00If you are going to more and more do stuff for exh...If you are going to more and more do stuff for exhibition or sale, I'd recommend getting a monitor profile done. Your printers may be able to do one for you, that ties in your monitor to their ink/paper set up, so you get as close to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). Pros do this. You can do it yourself, with a device called a Spyder, but if you are not working with your own home printer, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307177.post-1143220338049051792006-03-24T17:12:00.000+00:002006-03-24T17:12:00.000+00:00Ivan,Yes, I just got some shots back from the prin...Ivan,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I just got some shots back from the printer and they do look a little dark. So I might have to play with that a little more. I only took one panoramic shot for the reason that you can't see enough and those bright lights are distracting. I think I will scrap that but the reason why I wanted it is, the company that has asked me to produce prints of Halifax has some buildings inCritical Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609563350801160087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307177.post-1143202153571120192006-03-24T12:09:00.000+00:002006-03-24T12:09:00.000+00:00I also meant to ask - what ISO were you using, and...I also meant to ask - what ISO were you using, and what metering mode (matrix, evaluative or centre-weighted)?

I like the Dancing Lights and Panoramic best, although the Panoramic has two very bright lights close together near the middle that distract the eye. Also, it's a little dark overall, and the buildings a little too distant (like the critique of my Deal Town shots) to be as effective. The bridge is good - nice reflections and a nice composition.
