Is that a Nikon or Canon you are shooting with. Doesnot really matter it is just blown out. And I am sorry to say, I ran out of copy paper, trying to see the polar bear.


At least you didn't waste any ink :lol: :lol: 8-)

Someday I'll have to learn to follow my own advice:
"Never teach a pig to sing. It frustrates you and annoys the pig!"

Singing pigs? Hmmm. If you can pull that one off, hopefully you'll manage to get a picture of that! BTW...I thought the saying is "Never teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig." Maybe it should be changed to "never teach a Hog to sing....." While you're at it, if you do manage to get a singing pig pic, why don't you try get it to fly?? :lol: :lol: 8-)

- - - hopefully some readers may get my too-subtle point and make use of the White 255 picture at the beginning to decide to re-calibrate their monitors.

Having a corrected monitor can make shooters happier with their photographs and eventually better photographers - if only after their careers in comedy are over!



***********************

Also, please take note that a paper comparison with the monitor face can be affected by the type of light falling on it. My white paper under current lighting turns yellow in comparison. The monitor is a light source. The paper is passive, and dependent in color on the light falling on it.

Additionally, eyes can throw off color. Right now, my eyes do not agree on what is the color of that "polar bear". In one it is yellow tinted and in the other there is the appearance of something near to white. That will change, after next week hopefully. Looking at the apparent age complexion on this forum, there could be other similarly tinted eyes.

It is also worth reminding readers of inherently different individual eye responses to color. Some years back I was going through a much larger than usual set of color blindness eye charts, and was picking out numbers left and right.
Then, on one of them the number failed to appear. Well, it had to be a ringer thrown in to keep the responders honest. Only it was not.

I had never encountered this large a set of test charts before, nor this particular test for an obscure form of color blindness. Ordinary sets I pass easily. Not this one. I do not remember what the nature of the problem was; but, I have never been aware of it having make any material effect on my sight, as compared to others in ordinary conditions. But it was interesting.

Sorry, but I think you posted the wrong photograph, it looks kinda like a light blue-green-yeller sorta color. By the way, viagra can be home made by a do-it-yourselfer. Viagra = 5 parts blue dye #12 + 95 parts fix-a-flat....

Requests for or attempts at color correction can be more frustrating than helpful and can actually make matters worse if the requester and the helper aren't using a color-calibrated monitors. One man's yellow is another man's blue. (By the way men are frequently color-blind and, worse, Viagra alters your color perception, too! I'm just saying..)

The box below here is WHITE, i.e. 255 in all color channels - same as the 255 that blinks your camera's histogram when white is blown out.

If this box on your screen isn't WHITE, or extremely close to it then you should probably have your own monitor color-calibrated. (Hint: compare to a piece of copy paper next to your screen)

Hope this saves some frustration for members of the UHH community.
