Your question has been simmering in the back of my mind for some time, and the answer is elusive.
If you get two people standing side by side on the brow of a high hill looking out over a beautifully sunlit vista, I would like to bet they both see something different to each other.
Take it one stage further, one has a camera, and frames his view, takes a shot of it, and a week later post processes it, 10 – 1 the other party when shown the scene, probably will not recognize it.
Years ago, nearly 50 to be exact, I took a shot of the bridge over the River Axe at Withy pool on Exmoor. It was meant to record a Dull Overcast Miserable Gray scene completely uninviting and why did we come here sort of thing. When the photos came back from the lab weeks later, the colors of the garden flowers bordering the river and the beautiful pink and white washed thatched cottages along with the rolling varied greens and reds of the fields were amazing. The picture I thought I had taken was in my mind.
Hope this makes some sort of sense.
