Weird Things

[forsyth]

Okay, maybe it's just because I spend too damn much time staring at screens, but wandering around with my new digicam, I've noticed some things look more real on the little screen on the back then they do looking at them regularly. I guess it's probably just the camera's built in automagical color and light adjustment and things, but it's still kinda creepy. Reality looking more real through another filter than it does directly. Although, when I put it like that, it doesn't sound quite as weird, because the whole point of filters is to emphasize certain parts of things, so I imagine there's lots of filters that make things seem more realistic than reality. I know there are for plots, because plenty of stuff that happens in life is weirder than anything that'd fly in a story. Most of the rest is more boring than a story, but that's separate.

Probably because it's larger and doesn't have the little bit of glare from the cheap plastic view finder?
