Comment on Printing & Graphics Science Student Conference by Ann Fenech

Ann Fenech — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 11:30:29 +0000

As a conference attendee but coming from a background which is not exactly printing/graphic science, though now doing very much related work, it was interesting to hear what the others were working on and to get a broader perspective of the field. I just wanted to say thank you to all those involved in organising this event, and thank you for the prize, which I really appreciated.

Comment on Reducing chromatic aberration by Adam Parker

Chromatic Aberration is always fun. I just put up another example of chromatic aberration http://blogs.adamparkerphotography.com/blog/Chromatic-Aberration/57/ Hope it will help your readers better detect chromatic aberration in their images and entice them to seek out a solution.

Keep the good posts coming.

Comment on A pixel of Imaging Science by Chris DeAngelis

Actually, this poster was made by me, a Alumni of the Carlson Center For Imaging Science. It was made as part of an annual Imaging event held by the students of the program. Its been a long standing fight to differentiate ourselves from the Photography field and this was our way of advertising it. The timing of being during the ICIS ’06 conference was purely coincidental.

Comment on Where does infrared start? by Andy Finney

The similarity of near-infrared and moonlight views has been exploited in the past to allow movie makers to shoot night scenes in the daytime (presumably at day rates). Dark skies with white clouds, strong shadows and light foliage all conspire to make the illusion. You just have to make sure that you avoid including the sun in your shot. This technique was used in the days of black and white movies but fell out of favour with the advent of colour. In the colour film era this kind of shooting, known as ‘day for night’, was achieved by shooting in daylight with tungsten-balanced film and underexposing by a couple of stops … in digital cinema it is all done by numbers!

Hi Brent. Interesting question. I have no reason to doubt it and have always found the ESO a credible organisation. I would be interested in you opinion on this however as it is not my field.

Like many photographers, I have lost count of the number of cameras I own. I plan to do an entry on this in the near future so stay tuned.

Alan, if you had your camera dismantled, how did you take a picture of it?

In a similar vein, if you want to get inside your PC, investigate how it works and do your own maintenance and upgrade, I recommend you take a look at http://www.datadocktorn.nu/.

What sort of wavelenths are optimum for these systems?

Part hobby and part job. I do photography for fun but I have been a professional imaging scientist for 25 years.

Comment on Is this Imaging Science? Go GOCE! by Alan Hodgson

So now you know. What is even more worrying is that I am not alone!
Hope you enjoy the contributions
