    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.

    They really are as colorful as they appear in photos but human night vision is primarily black and white.

    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 ¿? 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
