definite yes to that question. i have a friend who pays big bucks for "abstact art".........looks like crap to me that i wouldn't put on an outhouse wall. he sees stuff in those paintings that make me believe he is high on something. to me, abstract art is for painters that don't know how to draw. but to each his own. the last painting, he paid over $10k for. would have bought a new canon 1d-mk10 and a lens or 2.

It get even more interesting when you check out on Google:
"The invisible gorilla"
We miss a lot.

Sorry for the departure from this thread but I couldn't resist. A buyer paid nearly $73 million for this Mark Rothko painting in 2007. :) As for my own "seeing", I've often found that my brain has to "warm up" when I'm out looking for subjects to photograph: I don't see much of anything for awhile, then suddenly start seeing great subjects everywhere!

I was talking with a friend when we were at the Minnesota Zoo. She stated that , "Thanks for pointing that out, I would have never seen it." My question is as alleged photographers do we see things different? Do we miss some things because of the other things we see?
My answer is: yes and yes. My most enjoyable photo forays are with other family members. 4, 6, 8, however many eyes, are better than two.
Do you recognize my submitted photo?

I wonder what kind of camera a multi-eye-balled spider would use?
Look at the camera please

Yes. I am primarily a videographer (my background is in television) and I cannot watch a film without noticing a whole load of technical and camera jiggery pokery going on.
To the untrained eye it all looks completely normal, but to my eye I see what is really happening.
My photographer's eye is developing (no pun intended) and I'm beginning to see light in a different way.

If I can add s bit to the wisdom of Snowbear: It is good sometimes to shoot with a colleague. We can often learn from even those who in general are a bit below our level. They have some ideas and perspectives that have not occurred to us.

I experience events totally differently when I am photographing vs. just experiencing. I had one of the most magical days of my life in Alaska when I left my camera in camp. Instead of focusing on capturing the wildlife on film, I burned their total images into my brain: rabbits, squirrels, moose, bear, Dall sheep. Never regretted not having my camera that day. (But just that day, I would sure regret it now.)

Now HERE's the REAL concept - - does your brain perceive BLUE {650nm} in the same way that another person does?My question is as alleged photographers do we see things different?
Fer instance - - THAT person may perceive BLUE the same way YOU perceive YELLOW.

Glad your images are burned to memory, but unless you are a photorealistic artist, the rest of us will forever be deprived of them.

Most of us see differant. I think it is important to match the focal elngth of the lens to how you see. If you tend to see the whole picture a wide angle is for you. If you are like me and have tunnel vision you need a longer That way you can do photographs as you see things. - Dave

we all see things differently, that is for sure. Do we miss things, not sure I would call it missing, again just seeing. Now for me, add the fact that I am major color blind...how funn.
