Colorblind Photographer Sees Sunset For First Time With Enchroma Glasses

A colorblind nature photographer was left stunned as a specially-designed pair of glasses meant he could finally see the colors of sunset for the first time. While the average human can see around one million different hues and shades of color, Jay McDonald's deuteranomaly means that he can only see around 10,000, he said. As a result, Jay, 28, does not see in black and white, but has a difficult time differentiating red and green, as well as seeing colors like pink, purple, magenta, red – the exact tones in the fall images he shoots for a living. Jay, a professional photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, says his condition, has made it tricky to work out the likes of the white balance, skin tones, and tint shift on his day job. But on November 2, he decided it was time to try on his new pair of Enchroma glasses, which he had delivered a week earlier. Jay said that because Calgary was moving into "shoulder season," the colors had disappeared from the trees and landscapes, leaving a duller light skiff of snow. But that evening there was a vibrant sunset across the city, so Jay headed out onto the 10th floor balcony of his condo and put on the glasses. As soon as he did so, his jaw dropped in shock.
