Because of the difference in monitors, people may see the photographs in this web site as a little too light or too dark.  There is something you can do that may help this.

A simple method is to adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor. Changing the gamma is easier but if you prefer you can change the monitor's brightness and contrast settings.

Study the gray scale below. Look carefully at the extremes at each end. You should be able to detect a slight difference between 0 and 5. If they appear the same, your monitor is too bright. Now look at the other end of the scale. You should be able to see a minute difference between 100 and the black background of the page. If 100 appears noticeably brighter than the black background, again your monitor is too bright.
