"If the latter, you must surely agree how fallible memory is on such things
and perhaps at last bow out gracefully?"
Peter you deny the evidence of your own eyes.
Not when something occurs that goes against what one had expected, but,as I say,
this is an everyday event. The theory does not accord with reality. But we
should all be used to that.
Another factor that effects the photographic result in such situations as you
describe is the large amount of non-image forming light which will have found
its way to the focal plane, considerably reducing the contrast of the scene.
Flare, it has been said, is what makes photography possible.
Peter, as this confirms what I have said is it not you who should be bowing out
gracefully.
