Joust, what have you done to the pictures? Contrast? Filter?

[Andy M]

Many of them look underexposed to me - most specifically 'The Abbey Farm' .

Aside from that I like them, 'The local blacksmith workshop' being my favourite

agreed, nice pics Joust, but most seem somewhat underexposed?

I'm on the laptop and it doesn't do anything like claibration, and is bloddy hard to jdge. I've noticed a trend, ones I edit in the day seem OK, ones at night people tell me are underexposed.....

Looking at them again this morning I see what you mean, they are all a bit dark!

I'll replace them when I get home and re-do them on my desk PC.

Don't the same thing myself. My Laptop always underexposes shots

"You should have seen the size of it.... " is stock material.

I like the Tudor houses shot - is it a crop or as it came of the camera? If a crop could you get the Manor house in at the end of the row?

A few look underexposed too(on CRT), would it be the brightness off laptops that does it? oops, didn't read the last few posts.

Just got home and I've decided the laptop is just crap!

The antique shop is totally white on the laptop - I can't see any of the light green colour, and boy do some of those look underexposed. Once I get the original images off the laptop I'll re-do them.

Has the chalk dude on the hillside really got his winky out? You'd have thought he would have tucked it in for the drawing! And certainly not have had a stalk on! Thats just down-right rude!

[mr noble]

How come the antiques store is "bent" when exif says it was taken at 28mm?

I know you have a full frame in the 5D but it still should not bend till you get down to about 16mm ??
