Artefacts

I like walking through the forest when it is pitch-dark and no moon is out to light the path. Human vision can adapt to the tiniest amount of light and see a colourless world where sound becomes equally important for safe navigation. The brain will start imagining things and will fill in the blanks in an attempt to make sense of the impressions which can lead to quite interesting sensing experiences. I start seeing and hearing things that are not there. This environment is equally challenging for the camera. It is mostly noise, nothing much to go by, a few photons here and there, camera algorithms struggling with too little information. So the camera starts seeing things that aren't there - wonderful colours that are just artefacts of electronic processing of noisy signals.
