The idea is that if you can’t distinguish the black on the far left from its near neighbours, and ditto the white on the right, your monitor needs recalibrating or your print needs more or less contrast. On many newer LCD monitors, the two darkest blacks are difficult to distinguish. If that’s the same with your darkroom print, experiment with the filters. A higher number (4 or 5) will bring out the detail in the whites, a lower or zero grade will help with the blacks.

A rebuild of this site this morning and The Photography Pages was caught by a couple of dawn readers who reported rubble and debris. All should be okay now; please report anything that doesn’t work or looks weird. We have more hard coding here than normal, so there will be glitches. The new Contact Me form seems to be working okay now though! Do please go ahead and test.
New look for the site for my own photos only, the version people seem to be calling ‘portfolio’ or the ‘professional’ site. Not entirely happy with it yet, but the bones are definitely there.
