So here the Minister's press release http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1403/S00324/minister-rejects-claims-on-funding-changes.htm
[ for various other releases try http://search.scoop.co.nz/search?q=education%20funding&sort_by=date ]and my partly-relevent Werewolf column http://werewolf.co.nz/2014/03/from-the-hood-unofficial-cabinet-manuals/

Regarding the creeping-into-news, it's notable that one member of the BSA thought Seven Sharp needed more 'effort to present significant alternative points of view in an item which discussed a highly controversial issue' here. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1312/S00238/mcmillan-and-television-new-zealand-ltd-2013-025.htm
Thought of that when (as I gather) the "Climate" "Science" "Coalition" show up on TV3 last night.

headdesk? Not the word as such, just for its usefulness as a one-word 2013-in-review.

Reminds me of a couple of light shows from Festivals past - Hexstatic and Body Movies.
And some folk will be dressing up the Wellington gardens for this years' Festival.

Disclaimer: I was going to say the above was based on the rather wrong assumption that all the colours coming into the camera are due to the corresponding wavelength of light.

Thinking about it, messing with luminance in HSL (as you apparently can in Photoshop's raw editor) is probably most like a filter (though still not very like). At least, most-like aside from just cutting out one or two RGB channels.

Capture: Two Tone, in reply to Ross Mason,
Thanks for that Ross. All that said, you have now got me Googling different ways to cheat... I'm imagining Photoshop photo filter layers are an attempt to mimic actual filters rather than a channel adjustment (and I'd never noticed the option, if my old PS has it). Or a better way for what I was doing above in Photoshop is apparently teh Channel Mixer.

A while back I was reading Ansell Adam about all the business about controlling the darkness of different objects on black and white film using colour filters. I've only even had the slightest play with the idea, and that digitally.
Just tried this with an old shot from a Perilous show at Civic Square, turning down various colour channels as a filter, desaturating and bringing the levels back up to the top. There seem to be exposure issues doing this way compared to sitting with you filters and your large format cameras and your light meters for a few minutes before hitting the shutter.

Royals parody thingy that I happened to have ready for yesterday. Basic idea pretty obvious, attached audio not done with great care.

Of course, even if the tests worked, you'd need a reliable way to tell if the result you were looking for actually *would* be a good fit in your workplace.
