The point was at all color photos record electromagnetic radiation in visible colors.
The “it doesn’t take photos it record electromagnetic radiation” is a silly thing to say.
- daniel_reetz 5y agoThere's some subtlety here. Colors are percepts- phenomena that happen in the brain. Wavelengths and radiation describe natural electromagnetic phenomena, not percepts. Example: Infrared has no "color". It's possible to induce the illusion of colors in the absence of light altogether. I appreciate that the article took care with this language, as it's a deep and fascinating topic.
