When did you realize that the greatest painters were using the magic of the optical mirror and lenses to create their masterpieces, being akin to reflex photographers in spirit? Da Vinci and Vermeer are unironically the precursors of people like Ansel Adams, except they couldn't "get it on camera" due to lack of a photosensitive system so they did it all "in post" whereas Adams merely fixed the mistakes of the medium with his darkroom techniques.
