Default How we see
Got time for an 18 minute video? Check out this TED talk which has a fascinating range of optical illusions and talks about how we perceive things. This has a lot of application to photography when we talk about things like "white balance" and "accurate colours"; how do we judge, when it is easy to demonstrate that our brains are incredibly subjective?

What do you think?
