Postby legoalex2000 » Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:59 pm

i've noticed that i take a lot of dusk/night pictures. now they show up fine onmy computer, but then i get compaints that they can't see it, it's too dark. it looks fine to me, so then why is almost everyone's screen so dark?

Your screen probably ain't adjusted properly.  Either that or everyone else probably has problems.

One more piece of evidance that no two systems are the same ;)

I have often times had friends and family that complain about photos I have sent them, they look great and well composed on my machine but not thiers.

I have also noticed that images that look great on the monitor I use on this comuter don't look no where as near as good on my other computer.

Ramos... ;)...!

Two suggestions:

1) Say "You all" rather than "Y'all".... >:(...!
2) Take screen shots during mid-day flights.

Every time I view your pics I have to turn my lights out, turn the Brightness up to 100%, get my torch out and peer at my monitor to view them.... :o...!
LOL...!

Only joking...
...except for the "Y'all" bit... ;)...!

LOL...!

sorry, i was typing whatever came to mind. i actually dont remember posting this...

but now that i noticed, my brightness, sharpness, and contrast are at it's peak. so i tried the same at school, and i could barely make out my pictures.

so mabye, idk,i prefer sun up/sun down pics, that and because i guess i cant get anything good from a day pic. and night shots are pretty much out of the question anymore.

I have an LCD monitor. The funny thing is actually in reverse for me. Shots that look bad on my screen look good on my downstairs CRT monitor. This is why i get really picky about my shots. This monitor shows up every detail so its easier to see a bad photo, or a bad shot.

Tsk tsk Ramos.  Don't mind Fozzer.  However you do need to work on your grammar!

Since you've addressed all of us, where's your plural?  C'mon man, get with it!  "Y'all's" is the correct way! ;D ;D

Ha ha!

AAhhhhgggg.....:o....!

LOL.... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

"Yo-all" have absolutely no idea how much the "Texan" accent causes the rest of the population of the known world to curl their toes up in agony every time their ears are invaded by it.... :'(...!

...trust me... ;)...!

LOL... ;D...!

Paul...Wizzard prang, old beans, and all that sort of thing..... 8)...!

P.S. My worst nightmare would be getting stopped by a highly obese, tobacco chewing, Texan Sheriff, sporting a Colt '45, wearing a silly cowboy hat and pointy boots, and asking me for my bike documents..."Sir"....
.....:o... :o... :o...!

LOL.. ;)...!

P.P.S.....try an Oxford English spell-checker on the "Texan text" above... ;)...!

hehe, now i come from one of those towns were the sheriff drives a big 4x4 bronco from 1984, whaers a white hat with sweat stains. Great man, in the evenings he is usally found drinking the local moonshine. Gosh i love small texan towns, where if the cops know your daddy they dont even give ya a warning.
