Digital cameras have lots of software in them to interpret the light that’s hitting their sensors. Based on the settings we choose, the camera guesses at what we want and saves it into a JPG file. But often, it doesn’t match what we see when we take the photo. While this site’s introductory post explains that I only edit photos to try to bring the photo closer to what I saw as I pressed the shutter button, I brightened this one in software quite a bit because I love that, in the frog’s pupil, you can see the reflection of the nature park and, right in its middle, the photographer.
