Mercury Vapor Shadow — WeAreAliveAndSocial

Of the several different types of lamps/bulbs available for street/area lights, the closest streetlight to my house has a Mercury Vapor type of bulb. I know this because Mercury Vapor burns with a greenish light.^[1] If I look towards the lamp, I see a faint greenish glow in the air around it.

However, if I look at the side of my house at night with my eyes, I only see the muted color of the red bricks and no greenish light. I went outside one night and thought the shadow of the ladder looked nice, so I grabbed my cellphone to take a pic of the shadows for ShadowHunters. I was surprised that my cellphone camera captured the green hue from the street light on the bricks! It was kinda freaky to me when the photo looked so different than it appeared to my eye!

So, with the miracle of computers and my PaintShopPro™ image-editing software, I desaturated the photo to show exactly what my eye sees when I look at the same shadow at night:

It's truly amazing to me what cameras can see that our own eyes cannot! Yet, sometimes I see something pretty with my eye, but my cellphone camera cannot capture the same "magic" that my eye can see. Strange, innit? 😜

Amazing and pretty cool 😎. Magic indeed. Wishing you healthier and abundance 2025 🌹🎆🎉

Very interesting. I don’t think they have those style bulbs by me anymore. They are all pretty bright and white.

You have given a great shape to the same shade with a wonderful feel through the use of computer software. It's a great skill after all I'm feeling the shadow here and looking at reality.

so cameras also distort colors?!? for a colorblind person like me, i really do not know which is true now. i'll just choose which looks good in my eyes then.
