Also, I am absolutely baffled by the fact that after all these decades of collecting my data that Google still doesn’t realize I don’t speak a word of Spanish. Out of 10,000 vids I maybe watched one kitten video in Spanish like 9 years ago, but to this day about 25% of my ads are in Spanish.

    Black is indeed the most transparent color for a fence. I am a Landscape Architect where we use black for chainlink and other fencing for the transparency. The reason for transparency in most cases is that black blends into the background rather than contrast. Secondly the lighter colors reflect light making them more prominent in the foreground. Lastly, I love chickens and love to watch them….Very relaxing. Thanks

    I worked for about a month, in a photo studio that processed student class portraits. One of the first things they taught me when doing touchups, was to put a tiny black dot in the center of an imperfection. When the portrait is processed, there can be little areas that the color doesn't take and you can see the paper. But a tiny black dot in the center, makes it completely disappear. It was amazing....to me anyway. But then I can be amused with just about anything shiny, so........This was almost 50 years ago, so I'm sure they do things much different now. Anyway, thanks for the video. Good to know.

    Using bronze or black screens instead of grey screens also makes a massive difference on your screened-in porch, a much better view from the inside. On the other hand, the white mesh screen tent makers seem stuck on using is horrible, you can't hardly see out at all.
    A hundred years ago, people in Philly would paint scenes on the outside of their window screens. This gave the folks inside more privacy, yet they could see out easily. Some of the art was quite beautiful. I wish they would bring that back!

      A few years back, I made a cypress screen door for my porch with a figure of a bear on a rock overlook on the side of a mountain. I painted the screen to match the background of the mountainside and trees. It came out OK, but I had a problem with the paint clogging the screen, I had to blow the clogs out with a straw. After that, I mostly dabbed the paint on with little sponge applicators, and it worked alright.

  • @MrLawandorderman
    @MrLawandorderman 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    It has mostly to do with the dilation of your pupils. The light is reflected off the fence into your eyes and your eyes adjust to the brightness by allowing less light in. The inside of the coop has less lighting and therefore is harder to see. Limiting the reflection of the light keeps the pupils open to allow more light in from the dark spaces. The same problem occurs when you take a picture of someone in the house with a window behind them with bright light shining in. The camera adjusts to the bright window and allows less light in making your subject darker. Excellent video thanks for making it short.
