If
our eye was a camera, what lens would it be? Would it be prime or zoom? F 2.8
or F13? To me I think our eye would become a 24mm I would have to say it would
be a F 3.5 or F4 because we don’t really get a narrow depth of field but there
is one.
Let
me give this disclosure first that a camera system is not a human eye.
Photography isn’t capturing what the human eye see’s exactly. It is capturing
the light or an illusion of how the camera “saw” that moment. Unfortunately, we
don’t see the same color as a 1dx Mk II or a Pinhole camera. Our brain
processes the signals and everything else a lot different. Our brain is just
giving us a constant feed of video that we replay in our mind, those are called
memories. The difference with a DSLR and our brain is that when we take the
image with our DSLR it shows in our screen and then we go into post and that is
it. With our brain, it reaches the conscious part of the brain which stores the
memory and it is constantly going through that process of finding memories. At
least mine is. Our vision is video not a
photograph. It captures moments like a gif rather than a movie.
This
article was going to be me discussing the eye vs a camera lens but my ADHD
stopped that and I am content with what I wrote now assuming it would’ve been
better and more interesting than that argument.
