J, nice to hear from you!

I agree with the shadows, in fact, I prefer anything hi-contrasty. I think I tended to go a bit overboard previously, when I attempted photoshopping every picture I put up here.

As for monitor calibration, I supposes it’s a necessary evil for working 100% digitally. Just cause everything’s digital doesn’t mean were all working with the same counting system…

One day I will have to break down a buy one of those SLR cameras… At least then I’ll know they look like they’re supposed to, in that case. Even if no one else does. ;)

Monitor calibration is such a bitch, isn’t it? If it makes you feel any better, no matter how well things are set up on your computer, it doesn’t matter if things are set to hell on everyone else’s monitors. Bah. I tend to be biased *toward* shadows, so I think these look great (particularly the ones where the ground become shadows).

Oh shit. Did I just give away my social security number? ;p

A lot of these came out a bit darker than I wanted. A chronic problem, with my (relatively) new Toshiba laptop screen being somehow brighter than another other screen I work on…

I’ve tried playing with the settings with no luck (darker on the Toshiba looks way shittier overall than darker on these other screens and I have yet to find a good balance) but these generally still look passable on the GF’s Macbook, so right now I’m hoping it’s mostly a problem with my monitor at the office.

But if these look like they should be brighter to anybody else, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know.
