I thought I’d share with you a quite disconcerting experience I had while driving on saturday evening.
On my way to visit my parents, I took a shortcut to avoid the city traffic. Part of this shortcut brings you under a very narrow old stone railway bridge, with only room for one car. The sun, at the time of day I was approaching this railway bridge, was directly overhead, making it very difficult to see even though I was wearing prescription polarised sunglasses. I couldn’t make out the sides of the bridge, so didn’t really know where the gap was that I was driving through. Everything was dark because the sun was so powerful….
But what was the disconcerting part? It was the fact that my brain didn’t think “It’s very dark down there, I can’t see”. No, no, no, my brain thought “The walls of this bridge are very underexposed, black in fact, i can’t do anything to bring them up”
I’ve started thinking in photoshop! Is it time for me to spend a few extra hours a week away from the camera and computer? Or maybe just start seeing a shrink?
I’ve had that experience with war games on the playstation, thinking of the best position to take out a cctv camera on the side of building….before I switched back into reality :shock:
