While a camera might only have several stops of dynamic range, only has one shutter, which doesn’t constantly adjust and a light metering system that is generally based on metering the average light coming through the lens, thus leaving certain parts of your image either under exposed or over exposed.


The human eye has a massive dynamic range and constantly adjusts depending on the amount of light coming through, allowing you to “see” an evenly exposed image in your head. While cameras these days are incredibly powerful and advanced, they still aren’t as advanced as the human eye.
