Last night as I was leaving Shenandoah I pulled into an overlook to check out the sunset. Of course I attempted to take some pictures. Most turned out horrible because it was so dark, however the camera did something funky.
I had taken a picture of the sunset and I noticed that the camera added light to the picture that wasn’t there in real life! I thought maybe it was the setting sun that caused this so I turned around an shot the mountain behind me which was totally dark. It took the picture a minute to come up but when it did it was as if the darkness was erased and magically the color appeared!
I then decided to try it with the flash. When I turned the flash on it illuminated that which was up close, but plunged the rest of the picture into total darkness. The picture with the flash was more realistic – that’s what the mountain looked like in real life.
This is the picture I took without the flash. Actually a halfway decent shot, however in real life the mountains were not visible due to darkness.
The same picture only with the flash. This is what it looked like for real.
My question, how did this happen?
