There are several fundamental ways in which photographic images differ from what is seen by the human eye. This peripheral vision is good for recognition of black-white patterns and detection of movement, but has almost no color capability. Photographs do not provide any peripheral field of view. Latitude refers to the range of highlights and dark features that are properly exposed in a photograph. The human eye, in contrast, has a much greater latitude equivalent to 12-14 stops.
People tend to prefer vibrant, rich, saturated colors in photographs.
Film makers have responded to this preference in different ways. Given these and other factors, it should be clear that a photographic image of a scene will be different in several ways from the human visual impression of that same scene. On the other hand, a photograph is a permanent record of the scene, while the human visual impression is stored as memory that cannot be reproduced fully for analysis or sharing with others. In some cases, orange or red filters may be used to further restrict visible light from reaching the film. Without an ISO bar code on the film case, most cameras cannot make automatic settings.
