Tue Sep 14, 2004 9:57 pm i've just posted a very small gallery of birds taken in Tuscany, Italy (all but one, Cyprus Warbler, taken in Cyprus in spring 2004 with a EOS 10D and 300 2.
; for these shots I used an EOS 1D Mark II with 500 f/4 IS.

Since I have got serious troubles with my monitor setting, i'd like to know what do you think about lightness/darkness and exposure of the pictures .... In effect, some friends of mine told me that they're right exposed (i.e. phots not too light, not too dark, or at least a little on the dark side..), some other not (pictures all too dark - bad monitor setting??). Please note that I have more than 15 years of experience about bird photography (with film, obviously ..) so I know very well what is the exposition ..... but, with digital, a bad monitor setting is not simple to discover (and to calibrate)!!
Many thanks in advance
