My experience has likewise been that film DP’s have extremely impressive visual acuity, memory for color, etc. Talented artists often have developed whole sets of skills that the rest of us are unaware are even skills. In the same way a programmer might have thought about cache line false sharing as it affects memory hierarchy throughput, visual art often hides lots of expertise you cannot directly perceive, even as you can sense the quality of the whole.

It’s a complex skill set. If you start animating you get to add in a physics simulation. And you become conscious of so many little things that the layman only notices when you get it wrong.
