Yeh... although I'm a well published photographer (not as much as some) who is supposed to be able to print his own colour photographs (as in the old fashioned version with film) the RAF put me through their stereo vision checks to see if they could move me over to their air side to analyse pictures of the things that they photograph from the sky. 70 m/m film. I used to be an RAF photographer. The RAF test showed that no part of my vision could possibly work at all ! <laughs out loud>. What does this tell you about the RAF ? In spite of this I can do a lot of Ju Jitsu and Aikido and judge distances very well. On the other side of it my own colour vision would seem to be excellent. Most people seem to balance around a slight red or blue shift. I come out as slightly red. A neutral photograph looks slightly warm to me. Right... where's that free crack cocaine that comes with every Ubutnu (oh.. sorry Ubuntu) disk ? Must get back to sniffing that ...
