How to See Your True Image: Mirror or Camera?<\/span><\/h1>\n

The way you look in the mirror appears more realistic than camera images. This is so because image reflections produced by the mirror are untainted by artificial effects. But the mirror must be plane and straight. Curved mirrors give distorted reflections, and the perspective of images from slant mirrors may not be accurate. <\/b><\/p>\n

The mirror usually captures what is genuine about us. From a real smile that reaches the eyes to unpretentious poses. These things are usually fake or forced when we stand in front of a camera. More so, editing apps can be used to add artificial effects to camera images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should I Trust the Mirror?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most people trust the mirror instinctively because they have used it all their lives. You see yourself in the mirror every day and you accept the image as your true image. This instinctive trust could make you question camera images that don\u2019t look like what you see in the mirror.<\/span><\/p>\n

This basic trust is justifiable, especially if you are using a plane and straight mirror. These kinds of mirrors replicate your exact image. What you see is what you get when it comes to flat or plane mirrors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Images produced by the camera could be manipulated or even distorted with the use of filters. Other factors, such as the flash and post-editing adjustments can also change your look in camera images. But mirrors, especially the plane and straight ones, offer authentic and natural images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should I Trust the Camera?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The world\u2019s best camera cannot produce a hundred percent accurate detail. No matter the megapixels, you cannot always trust what you see. Something is usually lost in the process of taking and developing pictures. But then, that doesn\u2019t mean you should no longer take pictures. But if you have to choose, believe what you see in the mirror over what you see in camera pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n
