Hey thanks for the clarification :) ! I'm not a photographer nor educated enough in specific science domain.
I only pointed out what technique photographers use to make them appear so bright and colorful on pictures.
Does that even make sense? I mean, we are what we are, and we see what we see. There is noway that we could certainly know how they actually look like.
If a reptile looks at an Aurora Borealis, It would totally see it differently, and it's perspective would differ from ours.
With a camera you can change alot of attributes to make it appear b/w, sepia, more light, rgb, cmjn, infrared, flash... But that doesn't make it how they actually appear, I mean who is in charge to give the correct mixture of how much light, b/w, cmjn, rgb, infrared... to see the "real" manifestation ?
Personally, I think this is more a philosophical/metaphysic ยฟ? question, but I'm no expert in any of those subjects. I'm just relying on my personal experience and my feelings ^^.
Feel free to argument !
With a camera you can detect the actual RGB mix of the light regardless of the intensity of the light; our eyes can only detect the mix of colours if the intensity of the light is high enough
