Cross_ posted:So what did you write to them? "Please draw a picture of a dinosaur fighting a robot on the box." BobTheCow posted:I just ordered a lens for this weekend from lensrentals.com with the following special instructions: I love you. If we can get a whole story going that would be amazing. Maybe the robot could visit the dinosaur's grave or another dinosaur could kill the robot's family or something.

Semi-crosspost from IYG: any iPad goons using Photosmith? This looks like what I've been waiting for while we're still waiting for a real Lightroom app experience.

Mannequin posted:Went to the National Wildlife Refuge briefly today to take some pictures just after it rained. I got on the boardwalk to start walking through, and I took off the lens cap to my Hasselblad and dropped it by mistake and it went straight into the water below. D'oh! $12 down the drain. I lost my Canon cap and replaced it with a Hasselblad one as it was about the same price and had the center pinch tabs  it makes the cap really easy to remove/put on with the hood in place (70-200's deep hood).

Just read an interesting article from Jeff Revell about being a color blind photographer. TL;DR: X-rite has an Online Color Challenge where you can test how well you see color. I scored 23 drunk at 3am on a laptop screen. Gonna try again sober on a calibrated monitor to see if I do any better.

That's me  Only I think color blindness is a little worse than his. I hate mixing greens/reds and purples/blues, especially doing graphic design work (I've always stayed away from red and green colors, unless I have my wife pick them out for me).And that hue test is a oval office. gently caress that thing.

Haha holy poo poo: "You have perfect color vision!" This is probably a crime because I've never used a calibrated monitor my entire life and having colors be an exact thing is something I haven't ever really had to worry about.

That test is pretty hard because of the way the colors start swimming when I stare at them too long.  It's like I can't quite focus on them right, so I start seeing colors that aren't there. I think it's the black borders that do it. RangerScum posted:Haha holy poo poo: Calibration shouldn't matter, as it's not testing color perception. It's testing the ability to distinguish between two colors, which should be consistent for a single monitor no matter what it's calibration state is.

Haha, I scored a 154 on my laptop, but I didn't think my eyes were that bad. So I hopped onto one of the PC lab computers that gets calibrated fairly frequently and got a 122.

I got a 26, I got bored halfway through, and just went as fast as I could. I was bugging out more that it didn't seem like a straight line to me. The more I looked at it, the more crooked the line of paint chips became.

I saw someone using a crazy rear end 2000fps hd video camera. Called the something gold? Think its cost like 100k. Now my 7d isn't so impressive and I want to shoot in crazy slo-mo haha.

Got a 3 on the color test on my poo poo work monitor. Wonder if it'd be better or worse on my monitors at home. I don't know, it all seemed pretty obvious except for the ends. I have a feeling the 3 I missed were on the ends where 3-4 of the squares were nearly identical.

I've had many disagreements with people about whether an object was blue or purple. Just last week a woman came into my office and pointed out something and called it "the blue one" and I said "the purple one right here?" and she said "yes, the blue one" with a lot of emphasis on the blue one as if I was wrong. Turns out she has some form of color-blindness. I still end up with navy socks and black pants at least once a week. That poo poo is impossible.

^^ For the longest time I thought everyone was loving stupid and that Blue/Purple/Indigo/Turquoise were all different shades of the same color My color blindness hasn't been too much of a hindrance aside from those minor annoyance, except for one area : Painting. Took intro to painting and mixing/making colors was a loving bitch. Could never get a skin tone, and gently caress if I could get anything close to accurate browns/greens/reds. My teacher was a prick too, wanted me to bring in documentation of my colorblindness and didn't believe me. I don't even think he believed color blindness existed.

I failed a Biology project in 9th grade because my lab partner was color-blind. We were dissecting a shark and my job was to put colored push-pins into organs, his job was to write down the color of the pin and the organ it went into. I caught it and corrected as much as I could. We actually failed because I got into an argument with the teacher over "cyan" being a valid color. This was the '80s so CGA palette mode 1 was a prevalent part of my visual lexicon. He learned he was color-blind that day.

Gonna try again sober on a calibrated monitor to see if I do any better. The second and fourth bars look off, though. Not counting the fixed chips, there are smooth gradients on the second bar from chips 1-7, 8-10, 11-14, 15-17, and 18-20. The fourth bar also looks off with gradients from 1-3, 4-8, 9-15, and 16-20, with gaps between those. Can I assume this is because my monitor isn't calibrated?

Yeah, actually I just took the paint chips individually. "Does this one look more like X or Y" and then moved it over left or right by one accordingly. If I didn't, the whole line not being straight bothered me

Though I disagree with "pink (skin colored)" The "Photoshop LAB Color" book has some interesting sample photos regarding color-blindness by the way.

I scored something horrendous on that test, like a 139, but I was also diagnosed with deuteranopia when I was a kid so I was expecting a horrible score.

I got a 3 on the test. I could see where I went wrong, but my eye couldn't find a position to place a coloured box to get the right flow. Ah well, good enough.
