MattK, admit it those guys weren't waving aussie flags, they were waving british flags and you pasted the aussie flag in.
I dunno what it is, but the flags just look too flat

Which images look flat? I have not fiddled with any of them. They are as captured apart from some levels and sharpening tweaking.

They look good Matt... It's lovely to see the children interacting with the diggers and learning to understand the sacrifice they made...
I particularly like the photo on the train as a candid...
p.s. they don't look dark on my screen...

Brings back memories, albeit ones from this morning
There's so much dignity and honour on the faces of the veterans.

Matt - they are all very evocative images and well captured. I must agree that they are all flat. The photo of the band in white shows the first bandsman to have a blown white uniform and the buildings are very flat.

Matt, well done.
I like the little girl shot in the green truck or green rails in front of here, looks like she is saying goodbye to her Daddy going off to war.
It would have been like that to a lot of little children back then, very touching on this day I think.
Very touching image, well caught.

Thank you for sharing Matt
ANZAC day is a very special day and your photos reflect just how special it is.
We shall remember them

There must be quite a discrepency between our monitors. None of the images look flat on my screen nor is the white band "blown out". I know if I print from my monitor then the images are faithful to the screen...so should I worry or is this one of the ineluctable
modalities of pasting on the web?

Thanks mic! The calibration of monitors is really a serious issue for faithful image reproduction. When I get a couple of posts from members who see my images being off colour or gamma then I get a bit worried...even more so when some of them are experts in what they are doing. I guess for all of us when an image looks fine and we post it then we assume that everybody else is going to see it the way we intended...but that does not seem to be the case. I might investigate posting a standard test image on the site with Gary so that everybody can have some kind of reference to lock on to.
Thanks for taking the trouble to post your comments.

Look great to me. Silly as it sounds, D2H pics seem to come out really sharp on this forum. Less compression for web maybe ???

Matt K, the flags these old guys are holding just look a bit odd to me. I know you haven't done anything to them but they like they're adding in.

Probably because all of the Anzac pics were taken using fill flash. The Sb800 took 240 shots on one set of 2500 Mah batteries! Incredible!

I hate to say it, but these also look a little dark to me too. I've never had this problem with your images before. Trouble is I'm now using a new PC and two monitors - one LCD one CRT, both of which I calibrated with my spyder last week (more so on the CRT which I guess is normal since LCD are 'brighter' but render blacks poorly). And the white uniforms look a little blown in the highlights to me like Chris mentions.
Sorry
Almost forgot. Great images. I think the whole concept of war is abhorrent, but we should always remember those who've experienced the horror first hand. The fact that there are younger people in these shots gives me faint hope future generations may learn to find a better way (but then my generation has happily invaded Iraq and Afghanistan
)
I've never read the Attaturk quote before - very moving. Good to see it was being carried by people waving aussie & turkish flags.

Marr #1 is a bit dark but i think maybe the point of where you are i think not an exposure problem, shadows on the street thats all look ok otherwise.
I wouldn't worry too much as i think thats all it is.
