I told you if the object is within the field of view, the light is already present at the film. What is so difficult? |

It traveled to get there, but if you are able to see the object, the light is already present at the film. |
Traveled from where? |
The photons from the sun reach the object that is reflecting the light, but remember that the light is already present at the film otherwise a photograph could not be taken. Also remember that the object must be in view. We can't get a photograph of the moon if it's not in the camera's field of view. |
What about pictures taken at night? |
We can see an object as long as light is surrounding the object because light is a condition of sight. It should be obvious that we can't see something if there's no light in which to see it.  |
Right, but you said the light comes from the sun. How then do you explain pictures that are taken at night.
