To EYE or NOT to EYE? My Question

Have you ever tought about the lenzes of the camera while you were taking the pictures? Please tell me how do you see them. I'm asking that since the following story I'm going to tell you totally changed my view towards it.
THere was a time from when I know myself I always loved to take photos of differetnt things. My father has a Zenit professional camera those that you should constantly check their lenzes and the diaphragm or the light. i really wanted to learn how I can work with that but most of the time the pictures i took was sort of gloomy or you might feel the lenz was not in the right place. When I went to rasht with my grandmother I had a sort of happiness that with my digital camera I would not have the same problem and i could take vivid pictures of the beautiful nature. I really like to take pictures from behind the windows of the bus. So the bus was moving and I was taking several rapid pictures without a great effort. Once i took a picture from the rice farms and I wanted to look at it again. i was taken aback as the image in my cellphone did not resemble at all what I SAW with my EYES along the way. I saw the farm as very close to me and very big abd green. Yet the image could be seen as a REMOTE land. I could distinguish WITH MY EYES the Continuum the greens had created but It seemed that the Lenze of my Camerea didn't take it into account. I then was Wnodering how PRECISE and GEART my eyes are with the help of which I CAN DO VARIUOS KINDS of LOOKING at the same time. And How Close I find myself when looking at something from far away.
I can say I was beliving my eyes. The I remeber how much I reiterated: " I DO NOT BELIEVE MY EYES" I'm thinking how detached it was. I doubt if such kinds of sentences can be used at all. I feel as if they are like BIG BIG LIES we used to tell ourselves and each others. With such great lenzes of my eyes, my gift from ALLah How can I pretend I do not blieve them since they seem to be my real freinds when I started my journey inward and out in the nature!
