Questions...

Ok, so after last nights lecture on digital cameras and how they work, I am left with two questions:
1) How does the sensor "see" yellow?
2) What would the image look like if you peeled the Bayer Pattern Filter off of the sensor?

I can understand how it can see brown,purple, orange, etc. because they are all made up from the primary colors, but yellow itself is a primary color and no amount of mixing red, green and blue is going to make yellow.
Is there some way to peel that filter thing off the sensor so I can see what happens?

Power of Still Photography

It is said that a photograph is worth a thousand words. That is a good thing for me since I'm not good with words. Photographs can speak when we humans stand around toung-tied. They bring out emotions otherwise unexpressed. Moments that would be so easily forgotten instead are preserved indefinately.

Course Expectations

I expect to learn how to use my digital camera that seems to be a complete stranger to me, even after thousands of photographs. Also, I would like to further develop my skills as a photographer. Getting an A would be the icing on the cake.
