Summary

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-cameras-see-that-our-eyes-don-t-bill-shribmanOur eyes are practically magical, but they cannot see everything.

Bill Shribman gives examples where photography can pick up where the eye leaves off.Lesson by Bill Shribman, animation by Flaming Medusa Studios Inc. Learn more about your ad choices.
