Photography - In my mind's eye

Photographs are not what we see, for a camera can not photograph what the eye sees. Photographs are what our mind sees.

A camera can never see what an eye can see. An eye has as wider field of vision, higher resolution, and a better dynamic range. (Link to article) A camera can only capture what the camera sees and we can only hope that the resulting image is what our mind sees.

Just think about it, right now. You probably can think about a picture that you have taken recently or even years ago. Even though you do not have the picture in front of you, your mind will form a picture of that image and it is very likely a better image then the one that you actually took.

Shakespeare Quote - "My mind's eye"

Hamlet Act 1, Scene 2

Hamlet:

My father—methinks I see my father—

Horatio:

Where, my lord?

Hamlet:

In my mind's eye, Horatio.
