I was asking a question about printing problems from Lightroom at DPReview forums when someone noted my pictures looked "extremely dark" on my flickr page.
I thought the guy was crazy, obviously, but I went back and started to more critically look at the shots - and he was
almost right. My shots are too dark! Bah!
------------------
Eyes may lie, monitors may lie -- but histograms do not lie. For whatever reason (perhaps my monitor was too bright), I had been publishing many of my pictures just
too darn dark!. My histogram was pushed a little too far left. Blah!
You be the judge:

Before After Before After
------------------------
I think I was so caught up in making sure the ends of my histogram weren't clipped (or were barely clipped) that I wasn't actually paying attention to
where the histogram was sitting most of the time!
