It is interesting to notice what the camera sees in comparison to what the eye and brain are seeing. Our brains make instant adjustments to whatever signals are sent there from the eye, so that, for example: white is white to our brain, regardless of the ambient light. However, photographers know that white also reflects any other hues present in the ambient light and can look pink, or blue, or grey. That's the reason that we have a white balance adjustment on our digital cameras - so that we can tell the camera's brain that the signal that the lens is showing as pink or blue or grey is actually white.
In this picture, taken early one morning, I saw a white light near a dark building, against a sky just lightening at dawn. My camera, with its fast lens, shows the yellow glow of the street light, the red colour of the bricks in the building and the blue sky with white fluffy clouds. Amazing!
