The photo's are great, those I can see. However. They all (this applies to nearly all such offerings I have viewed not only these) look like terminally underexposed film exposures. Is this a fault of my PC? If not, is there an answer and what is it? The image of the evidence of the effects of rat occupation in the tunnel is simply a black panel for instance. Regards, Donald |

The default monitor brightness setting is usually for reading text, which is about half the full brightness. regards, Martin. |

No I haven't (to be honest I didn't know such existed, I said I was the prize rabbit} I can give it a try when it is my turn on the computer (my daughter just told me!) Regards, Donald |

Hello chaps, Not sure what the problem is here - the pictures looked fine to me (especially since they were taken in the dark!) - I could see all the detail. But I was looking at them on an old fashioned CRT monitor. I sometimes find with LCD displays that they are very sensitive to viewing angle - even a slight angle drastically increases contrast to the point of white or black out. Don't know if this might be relevant. Best Regards, Howard. |

They work alright on my LCD monitor. Remember that many were taken with flash and the light drops off rapidly as distance from the flash increases. |

Perhaps Donald could try adjusting the angle at which he is viewing the monitor. Especially if other pictures also look dark!! It would be worth it as I think these are very interesting, even if we might not be modelling the detail of brickwork etc inside tunnels! |
