This is a portrait format photo of an autumn scene taken on a hiking trail that runs through a forest. A mature tree is on both sides of the hiking trail at this point, each with many colourful leaves still intact. The colours are yellow and orange which create a real Fall vibe for the photo. The hiking trail is covered with fallen leaves which also adds to the colour pallet. It is a bright sunny day, so some shadows can also be seen in the frame.

According to a Scottish legend, if you want to see a fairy, you must eat a primrose, or rub primrose oil on your eyelids. Some ancient Druids thought that standing in a large swathe of primroses gave you passage to fairyland.

Some farmers used to put primroses in their cowsheds to stop fairies stealing the milk, or braided them into the manes of horses for protection. We have never had any trouble from the fairies.

Primroses are small, perennial woodland plants that grow no more than 10cm high and can flower from December through to May. Here on Skye they first appear in late March. Our colder, later spring means that they survive well into May. I stopped the car to take this picture of this clump of blossom by the side the road this morning. There are many more. It's hard not to believe that they have some special, extraordinary purpose beyond bringing joy.

After centuries of trying, we’ve yet to arrive at a perfect way to map colour

Fig. 1
The centre of a large object remains long uncoloured, especially with mediums of less density and smaller angles; but at last the opposite borders and edges touch each other, upon which a green appears in the centre of the luminous image.

Fig. 2

Objective experiments have been usually made with the sun's image: an objective experiment with a dark object has hitherto scarcely been thought of. We have, however, prepared a convenient contrivance for this also. Let the large water-prism before alluded to be placed in the sun, and let a round pasteboard disk be fastened either inside or outside. The coloured appearance will again take place at the outline, beginning according to the usual law; the edges will appear, they will spread in the same proportion, and when they meet, red will appear in the centre. An intercepting square may be added near the round disk, and placed in any direction ad libitum, and the spectator can again convince himself of what has been before so often described.

finished watching Aliens
I set my sense of the colour blue to the cinematography of this movie. It had that great of an aesthetic influence on me during my early childhood, I guess, but anyway, that's how I calibrate my brain now. The problem is that the first Blu-ray made everything green and killed the pinks, I've tried to adapt but it's a different movie, and the AI remaster... well, just fuck you, Jim, I couldn't even finish it.

So here I am, having to watch my painfully low-res DVD to remember how colour is done. Is it worth it? YES. Will I eventually regrade the Blu-ray myself? Probably. Am I right in the head? Who knows.
