Erosion of tephra layers, between Teseguite and Guatiza, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain
  • It is the same material both in the bottom and in the upper part, so the colours are equal (as they are now). On the other hand, the angle of the light is dfferent, so that the bottom seems to be brighter than the eroded "rock" (previous version). As the light changes durig the day and also its angle of entry, both versions are "real" in my opinion, it depends on the time the photo is taken. In addition, if the object is in shadow (clouds) you have additional different lightning conditions. --Llez (talk) 05:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you are on tour, you can't wait hours for a single shot. I was at this place twice, but the first time it was too cloudy for fotos, so I returned another day (which was not planned). --Llez (talk) 11:45, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was the suggestion of Tomascastelazo (see above), I first uploaded the version with the actual ("true" in your sense) lightning. --

* Comment Ikan Kekek Well, then, photography itself is the all time cheater! From analog to digital the true image is born with one bias or another due to the media on which the image is recorded. Black and white then could be considered an untruthful representation, color film had its own bias that people described as personality. True color reproduction has almost never been the case and it is brought about by some sort of manipulation, filters, burning and dodging, etc. In this particular case the brightness of the foreground was due to the angle of reflection of the light and it is a valid and legitimate technique to burn in an area in order to make the image more apparent to what the eye sees. In different brightness values the eye and the brain compensates, not so with photography, so a little help actually makes the image look the way the brain saw it. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
