"I actually like this version better, think I'll make it this way on the Society web pages"
In that orientation, it matches our "expected illumination" orientation. Our brains are somewhat wired, at least by lifetime experience if not evolution, to expect illumination from "above". That's why faces lit from below are creepy-horrorshow feeling, in part. A trick for viewing images where topography looks inverted and craters are bumps and valleys are ridges is to 1.) orient the image so the real illlumination comes from "above" in the viewer's orientation. Even physically matching real illumination (from a desk light or something) to the on-page (or on screen) illumination can sometimes help force the brain to counter-invert the image back to it's proper craters-are-craters perception. |
