About Orthochromatic

It was surprisingly difficult to find a good name for my blog. I tried different on-line name generators but ended up browsing photography books and websites. I wanted the name to be photo related but not too tied to anything specific, I also felt that the name should be usable in IT related context. I finally ended up with Orthochromatic.

According to wikipedia "An Orthochromatic spectrum is any spectrum of light devoid of red".
In photography the term orthochromatic usually refers to film that is only sensitive to blue and green light, but not red.

While browsing for a name I stumbled on this magnificent picture taken on the 17 December 1903, 10:35 a.m.
Enjoy it.
