The Current Screen Photo on my Computer

I took this picture recently after rain had cleared the air. It was about 8 pm. I'm going to miss this view as I'm moving to a location with a different angle...

is this the result of photoshop?

No. I don't have that. I don't remember what program (picasa or MS Office Picture Manager) I used, to just emphasize a little the colors. Actually the original digital picture was basically as the one you see here.

Maybe I cropped it a bit too.

This is a topic that would merit a long conversation. Like what's "natural" and what's real, and what the camera can capture... But, for another time.

Oh, I just want to pose a question. When you have a remote control (say for the camera) you normally don't see a light when you press the button. What happens? Is there no light?

But, if you look through the camera lense/view finder you can see that light! Fascinating. The explanation is that the infrared light is just outside the human vision range, but the camera can see it!

Try it, it's fun! ;)

So, if the camera sees lights or with different emphasis does this make the picture "unreal"??!!
