Whose eyes are these?
.
.
.
.
.
Why do they see this way?
.
.
.
Whose head am I in?
.
What kind of animal sees the world this way?
.
… with such an extended spectral response …
.
.
.
… and sometimes such clarity …
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Or is it the world that has changed?
.
… leaving me as the reflection of my own perceptions?

These wonderful images make me realise how much I rely on colour to define a subject and then don’t really see the detail. An interesting series to wake up the senses.

Yes, that’s an interesting comment, Lee. One thing that’s often involved in processing IR images is swapping the red and blue channels. That helps with generating blue skies, for example. One thing that occurs to me is that if someone had the red and blue receptors switched in their eyes (if it could work like that) then no-one would know. They would look at red and say “that is red” but see it as blue. Vice-versa for blue. Similarly all the different hues that involve red or blue they would be able to identify and name but they would see as quite different colours. As it is, the nature of our sight changes as we age, it’s largely a product of our brains and no-one can be entirely sure that they see exactly the same way as others.

That’s a very different way to think Murray but I get the line of thought. We call ‘red’ red because we are told that is what it is from birth but who is to say my red is the same as your red. I could get twisted in knots just thinking about this but it is an interesting concept. Still like the images very much.
