Driving home last night, I caught a show on NPR about color perception. http://www.radiolab.org/2012/may/21/
There were some interesting discussions about trichromats, tetrachromats, and animals that are penta or hexchromats. It is something that I've been thinking about a lot lately, espcially since I've been playing with IR photography and the way it is captured and presented by my camera. With the ridiculously high resolution sensors now available, it would be interesting to experiment with bayer filters that had finer spectral resolution. Rather than having half of the pixels be green at 550nm, maybe have 1/4 centered at 520 and 1/4 at 580. Of course, we're limited not only by our eyes, but in the colors presented by our monitors. I don't know any way to directly apply any of the things dicussed in radio show to photography, but it is some interesting background on vision. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
