Ivan and Vlad go for a quick afternoon stroll.

I think Ivan and Vlad need a stronk tonk.

In the Soviet Union, owning such a car was very prestigious.

I was invited by Moscow City Transit to attend what was basically a streetcar photo charter for the press and bloggers. The subject was a Soviet MTV-82 series tram, which operated in Moscow from the 1940's through 1980's.

The statue, Worker and Kolkhoz Woman, was built in 1937 for the Soviet pavilion at the World's Fair in Paris and is one of Moscow's icons.

With that old dirty Lada this view gives me the 90's vibes.

The title, "The Zil" pulls my brain in the direction of a nice dark Italian red wine called the "The Zinfandel". How it could jump from "The Zil", a Russian military truck sat rotting in the woods of North Wales, to a nice glass of wine is hard to explain but I suspect some minds work differently to others. And I must point out, we see things differently too.

I recently looked a bit more closely at some pictures on flickr and thought they looked faded, too light, the colours not saturated enough. But when I looked at them on another PC they looked fine. And suddenly it has worried me. When I view my shots on my phone they seem darker and some of the detail is lost in the shadows. And that's what troubles me about this pic. I wanted it dark, but not too dark as there is a lot of detail in the shadows.

How do we know when our screen is set so that it gives the same amount of brilliance and contrast as someone else? Is there a test you can do to set your screen up to a common industry standard?

Answers please!
