眼看視為真? Is what we see a representation of the reality?

(English at the bottom)
今天終於證實,用手機拍攝的效果不能盡信!
無論色澤、深淺對比度、明亮度、飽和度等,甚至太陽的大細,
都受手機攝影的程式自動調校,
與肉眼看固然有不少明顯分別,
但原來對焦不同,除了令構圖不同,也令測光不同,
因此太陽光環的大小,竟然相差甚遠!
以下是半分鐘內連環拍攝兩幅照片,
但太陽光環的範圍差異很大:

世事也一樣,我們所知的,
有多少是真,有多少失真?
有多少只憑片面資訊、一次經驗、個別意見、個人觀感?
別人給我們知道的,
有多少是經過包裝?
有多少是毫無保留?
我們能否完全知曉、
明白一切所見所知?
豈不也視乎觀點與角度、心靈有多開放、
心情有多好、感覺有多敏銳、
胸襟有多闊、認知有多少、理解有多明白嗎?
當知道事實後 (例如所拍攝的照片其實不能完全代表真實景象,
甚至跨張失真),我們會否失望呢?

今早另一個感受,就是雖然天朗氣清,
但曙光初現時,
沒有冬至前一天的橙黃色虹橋,
沒有感恩節、平安夜的火球爆光,
沒有除夕油畫筆掃的曙光天色,
當然更沒有聖誕日的紫紅霞光。
因此,更珍惜以往所拍攝的日出,
也再一次體會:就算天朗氣清,
虹橋火球都不常見,可遇不可求。

一年前曾有如此感受,
現在竟應用到這網誌上:
敬拜,不只在教堂!
有敬拜之心,主就讓我們看到、拍攝到、感受到、寫到。
文字與圖片互補不足,相得益彰!
寫網誌闡釋美景照片,似投入了另一事工:
欣賞與讚美上主所作的精工,並帶來無比喜樂!

Is what we see a representation of the reality?

Two findings in today's sunrise. 
The first finding was that the processor of the smartphone 
has made what I saw on photos 
not the absolute representation of what I saw with my eyes.
The same rule applies to what we see in our daily life.
Is what we see the true representation of the reality?
How much distortion is there?
It also depends on our perception, attitude, mood, knowledge, etc.

For the first two photos taken within half a minute's time, 
the size of the sun was very different, 
depending on the light detection function of the camera.

The second finding was that 
although the sky was very clear and the air with good quality, 
there were no spectacular sights like 
the 'fireball explosion' and orange-yellow 'rainbow' 
that were presented in the sunrise on 23/11, 21/12 and 24/12.
Once again, the nature tells us that spectacular sights are not often seen.

About a year ago, on 8/1/17, 
I've come up with the following ideas, 
which are applicable to this blog now:
"The praise of God doesn't merely occur in the church.
If we have a heart of giving praises to God, 
God would let us see, feel, capture, and write it down.
Words and visual images supplement each other.
Blog writing is like another career,
appreciating and praising the fine work of God, and giving us great joy."
