I am sitting here in my class and being bored to death. And whats the best thing do to in a moment like this. Exactly think about pictures how to take them and how to improve them. And suddenly I got a stange idea. The thing is we can only see a colour spectrum that lies between (I believe) from about 300nm till 800nm. What if we could take picres of an higher or lower spectrum what would we see? I mean would we see ourself or are we gonna see something tataly random.

Kind of both. Almost all cameras capture just a subset of what the eye can see. The image linked to below represents every color we can see. The triangle in the picture below represents the portion that most cameras record. [Visible Spectrum and RGB][1] The triangle contains a boat load of colors. Plenty to represent just about anything you can take a photo of. It is very possible to take pictures in other spectrums and convert them to visible light. Astronomers do this all the time. In fact almost any picture you see of a galaxy or a nebulae is a combination of light waves spanning the spectrum from radio waves to gamma waves that someone has modified to allow you to look at it with your (very limited) eyeballs. |
