LANCASTER AVENUE ' BRYN MAWR sized the fact that while objects re- corded by the eye appear real be- cause the brain tells us they are, those copied by the camera need artificial aids to make them seem natural. The eye is controlled by the brain, and will automatically correct colors that it sees to ap- proximately the colors they ought to be. ms The best conditions for exhibit- ing a poorly-colored photograph there, are on a screen in a darken- ed room where, the eyes will have no standard of comparison. The light the pictures are taken in should also be much stronger than the normal light they are In actual living sight the brain is conscious of another di- seen in. mension which it automatically adds to the object the eyes per- ceive. The camera, however does not do this, depending on a certain amount of shadow and contrast to contribute depth. Feel like a witch?
