    For camera guys-
    Tarsier: Large aperture
    Cats: Backlight
    Frog: Slow shutter speed
    Hawk Moths: High ISO

    This is so well done that I had tears in my eyes near the end. I was emotionally moved! Longer exposure for the frog, and reflective cells for the cat, nature is so full of curiosities and these videos make them known. Thanks to everyone who made this.

    2:12 -- Nikola Tesla believed we can do that too, he once thought we could see brain activity or project our thoughts using this technique, and maybe it could be the reason for how we sometimes "see" our imagination. it perhaps is more perceptive in cats because they have more visual neurons related with vision and projection! awesome!

    @darkenergylambda 8 років тому +22

    So in ways an astronomer/photographer understands:
    Tarsiers have bigger lenses = more photons
    Toads have a slower shutter speed/longer exposure = collect more photons at the expense of image refresh rate
    Moths have larger pixels = more photons per pixel

      @Lusiemm 6 років тому

      I don't know really what's the correct answer, but it doesn't have to be organic. It could be crystals of a salt or something similar. I'll try to research it tho :D

    I'm not sure why (maybe it was the detox or sleep deprivation) but at the end of basic training years ago I could suddenly see trees and people as white in the dark. It only happened once in my life, but it was amazing and gave me a huge advantage. Everyone else looked like toddlers stumbling around and tripping on something or nothing.

  • @mika2666
    @mika2666 8 років тому

    i already knew this, because my dad is a photographer explained ISO to me :)
    big eye monkey explaination:
    this is also why a DSLR takes better low light pictures than your smartphone, because more light falls on each pixel because the sensor surface area is larger :)
    frog explaination:
    the amount of light per pixel depends on the sensor (and therefor pixel) size and the photons that hit the sensor/pixel
    that's why if you have a camera with manual controls, you can take photos in the dark that look good, but if the subject or the camera moves the image will be blurry.

    A Tarsier’s eyes are about 16mm wide I believe while a human has eyes as wide as 22-24mm (correct me if I’m wrong). With that in mind, shouldn’t humans see better than Tarsiers? Or does it have to do with their lenses and pupils? What about their photoreceptors? Do they have more rods and less cones?
