Popular Post kye Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 I recently asked for book recommendations to learn about human vision and was given a link to a free PDF. It is incredible. I'm only a quarter of the way through, but I'm absolutely blown away. The human vision system looks like it was designed by committee and then re-imagined by Dali and Picasso, while on drugs. It is a wonder we can see anything at all! Did you know that the rods and cones (which detect light) are BEHIND a bunch of nerves and nerve cells and blood vessels, so the light has to go through a bunch of crap before you even sense it? The book is actually a mix of how the human vision system works and also what we have done with the tech to try and align to it, so it's a nice blend of biology and tech. It's also very readable and tries to be as non-technical as possible. This is a rare find compared to other books that are hugely tech heavy. Take the red pill with me... download it here: https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/support/documents/colourbook/colourbook.php (download it by clicking on the box next to the file size). billdoubleu, 92F, Emanuel and 8 others 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannick Willox Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I have known for ages literally everyone is running around completely blind on this planet. Deaf as well, by the way. kye and sanveer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 So, is anyone reading it yet? I'm up to chapter 11 and enjoying it, although I'm only skimming the technical parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Finished it. I'm assuming that everyone else liked the post, saw it was 300 pages, then went back to scrolling social media about new cameras? It wasn't quite as useful as I was hoping, but then again I had a specific agenda when reading it, so that's my fault not theirs. Now I have to get back to work and actually test various things.

kye Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Just looking through some old threads and found this. Did anyone read it? Does anyone actually want to learn something? I wouldn't be surprised if not.. feel free to go back to blind capitalism discussing what camera to buy next 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity that reality doesn't fit in a sound-byte. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average attention span nowadays is like 2 minutes or less. If one's attentions isn't drawn within that time, people leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evgeniy85 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 One of the best books that I read about color theory is The Art of Color by Johannes Itten. It can be found on ebay for cheap. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
