I assume that will still depend on a properly calibrated monitor though?

Yes. You need a calibrated screen and the proper profiles for printer and paper. Good printers will supply this. The problem is reflected light from a print can never compete with a back-lit screen so all prints are basically manipulated to get as close as possible.
The good news is that if you've found something that works through trial and error (I did) then that is equally good enough. But the shots you print can look awful if shared to be viewed on screen so as I have a quality printer at home I have created a printer profile which modifies the shots to be printed. This took a while and a fair few binned 6x4 test prints.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Is this edit better? Back on my main monitor now. I feel like the sky looks better bit prefer the milky way on the previous version. One thing annoying me with this one is that trying to lift the shadows on the foreground leaves an annoying purplish tinge, I've tried adjusting the tint but that messes up the overall colour. Ideally I would have done a longer exposure foreground and blended it with the sky.

Think I prefer the first one even though the sky is lighter than reality. That said I'm viewing on a phone.

Someone was quite clever with the alignment of the Canary Wharf towers and the setting sun.

Clearly depends on the screen being viewed on. It looked awfully dark earlier when I saw it on my phone but looks much better on my calibrated laptop. I guess you can't win. 🤔

Love a pylon.

Yep, much darker on my phone too. It’s a real challenge with that type of photography I guess and I’m very much learning editing.

Just a guess, but have you converted the finished file to sRGB? Converted, not just assigned. That might explain something.

Pet tat. But I quite like it... the direct-into-lens look is rather pleasing.

Not sure what the difference is to be honest but when I export out of LR I use the sRGB colour space option.
0 -
The difference is that many screens are set to use sRGB and don't cope well with RGB. Assigning a colour profile (sRGB) can just tag a photo with the wrong profile while converting it to sRGB ensures that all screens should display it correctly. You'd need to know if the export is converting or just tagging.
This is just guesswork as to the cause of different display experiences though as there are too many variables.

So, the "supermoon" wasn't so super due to hazy cloud, but that led to the sunset.

I'm not sure if I like passionflowers or not...
And I'm not trying these in October...

It's been a good year for our passion flower. You've got the tricky depth of field better than me.
I'd give the blackberry a go. It's been a warm autumn so far, so I think everything has kept going. Our French lavender is having a second wind.

I do like a city nightscape

I might have been talking about the fly...
DoF - completely down to the camera. Well, and possibly the rakish angle.

Need me goggs on. Google lens says it's a non-biting midge (chironomid).

Jealous of the passion flowers, ours was finished off in the cold snap last winter.

'Mine' isn't mine (just some random nearby house), not that that makes your loss any less annoying.

Bit of a castle day today. Firstly Alnwick which the wife had been very keen to visit and which was quite impressive (she even got the demonstration of the salute gun done in honour of her birthday). Than up the coast to Dunstanburgh which is properly spectacular
5 -
Dunstanburgh is, as you write, spectacular. I used to know someone who worked there, but now 6-7 years ago, so I don't know if she is still there. Your view is from tne south, I actually prefer seeing it from the north – from there you can see it from miles and miles away, and it is then more prominent on its headland, and, in misty conditions, it can have a really haunting aura.

Yeah would have liked to have got a good look from all sides but we were short of time. Going back that way on Tuesday to visit Bamburgh, Seahouses and Lindisfarne so might get a chance then.

Bit of exploring around Kielder Forest / Kielder Water today
Hindhope Linn waterfall
Rainbow over Kielder Water. It was the closest I’ve had it feel a rainbow is to me with the base seeming to touch the edge of the shore about 50m from me.

The skies were clearing up this evening and I started getting some aurora alerts. It was only just getting dark and still plenty of cloud but I decided to take a chance and drive about 10 miles to an old ruin. Ended up with completely clear skies and some meteors. I’ve forgotten my connecting lead so can’t process them properly yet but hope to get a decent panorama. Unfortunately I knocked the focus somewhere along the line so the later shots are annoyingly blurred. Took this one back at my little bothy (still blurred!)

Meteors, Milky Way and aurora all in one shot (the meteors were a fluke I didn’t even spot!)

Well jell.
I still think I'd turn down the Gamma/exposure a tad to give more of a night-time/realistic feel without dulling the fantastic colours, which would also partially mask the graininess in the foreground.
