Enjoy! To view photos from other years ... please click here to go back to the Home page where the index is. To get the best from the photos ... Please make sure that your screen is calibrated so that you can see all the shades in the image below; You must be able to see all this: -- 20 sections of equal width and different tone -- the darkest section must be pure black -- the lightest section must be pure white -- there must be no hint of color anywhere along the grey spectrum If you don't see 20 different tones, you may need to lower the contrast. If black is not pure black, you need to either darken the monitor or adjust the black point. If white is not pure white, you need to either lighten the monitor or adjust the white point. If both black and white are not pure, try to boost the overall contrast or adjust both, the black and white points. If there is a color cast, try and adjust the color balance. Some software allows you to do this separately for both ends of the grey spectrum Any questions or comments, please click here to email me. © 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 Peter Hocking unless otherwise noted.
