WTF.. are you you doing a colour blindness test or something? Or is there a trip to World cup final if we get it right ?

AnimalRights

I'm sure it's a quiz question but after a few honest scoops I gotta say what I gotta see, Blue.

Unless this is a subtle message to ur other half that blue* is good

*movies I wasn't referring too of course.

It's a colour blind test for other boardsies who's colour blindness I'm concerned about :P

Why did you not pick something less...blue?

Or maybe less black. I'm not great on spatial evaluation :pac:

I'll poke her to wake her up now and see what her reaction is?


I'm hoping it's blue!

I've just noticed that the thread is kinda like one of those bar room brawls in the old westrerns where the fight goes from one place to another...(assignment thread ahem).

Pete, maybe you should ask a slightly different question.

Is this a monochrome or a colour photo?

Nice Duo-tone.

It's a colour mono. It still doesn't change the fact it is predominantly 1 colour (according to the poll....so far?)

Covey

It does appear to be slightly more blue than black, but I wouldn't take bets on that.

Less than 10% difference at least?

Which is why I said ask a different question. I even voted for blue because you asked about the predominant colour and only gave three choices - two of which were irrelevant! There is no RED or GREEN!

He has u going P&B, maybe he has consumed bucketloads of my bucketloads and he wants to wind us (you) up?

Covey

Ok, send me the details of the WC final + SA Safari.

It doesn't matter whether I won or not as the other two are automatically disqualified:

P&B - would only shoot all the animals ( and maybe some football stars too )
AR -Would only get shot trying to prevent P&B doing the above.

I'd just do feck all and record the above or similar.

I'm tellin' ya there's green in that sea.

Check in your software, desaturate green and I bet it changes colour

pete4130

Predominant


I'm sure there is green in that sea. I'd bet its due to algae and/or seaweed and I'm sure its predominantly blue in the photograph though...


I like definition 1 best

Asphyxia

I would say blue it is a very nice photo, a colour mono. I may start posting my photographs here and start quizzing you guys about them!!

Thecageyone

Nowhere in any proper description on 'mono' does the word predominant appear.

This is a blue mono -

The image must be either black and white (grey scale) or have just one colour present through out.

It's a matter of opinion. Predominantly, most people see it as a blue image. If you don't then don't vote on it. The fact you weren't aware that mono didn't mean just black and white speaks volumes about the weight of your arguement

smelltheglove

Lol, Pete did you come up with this at the same time as the ruffled feathers brush? I'd go for blue here.

Azure... (actually it's nothing like azure blue )

And black isn't a colour - it's the absence of "colour" (no light being reflected - all wavelengths being absorbed into the material).

For the smart alecs - a "black" car isn't black - as light is still being reflected off its surface - lock yourself into a lightproof room/cave/dungeon and then you'll "see" black

It's a pity there's green in it, otherwise you'd win this one ...

I downloaded the image and opened it in CS4

then I took the colour sampler tool and put the 1st sampler on the sky and the second sampler on the sea

I got two seperate results therefore indicating that this picture uses more than one colour



yes I know, I've too much time

Different shades of blue will have different CMYK or RGB values. It still doesn't make them any less blue.

For example....light blue will have different values to navy blue.....its still all blue.

Why not try the same tool on some bw images you have and see if different values appear?

Blue is blue is blue.

swingking

oops, didn't realise that Pete.

Your argument is valid now

This reminds me quotation from one X-rated movie I saw many years ago:"Why you have to be so anal, this is supposed to be fun..."

black like the can of guinness in front of me

democrates

The poll is about human perception so blue wins hands down but on a tech note white light has all wavelengths of visible light and some areas in the photo approach that. Even lasers designed to produce monochromatic light have a very slight bandwidth.

so is there a right answer. also what was the point of the post?

While people continue to count green as a tone of blue ... not likely.

Doesn't seem like there was a point, only to wind people up.

where the hell are the 4 people who said ''red''??
