[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 139050, member: 9240"] Truth is, it's impossible. That said, you have a couple options. One, get to know how your camera works and train your eyes to look at what's in front of you as if they are the camera, and when you see something worth shooting, pull the trigger. Two, your eyes act like a lens, with your pupils mirroring aperture settings, giving you depth of field that you may or may not realize. The problem is, your brain is so powerful that it exposes everything almost perfectly regardless of how badly lit something is. Your eyes are capable of capturing amazing levels of brightness and darkness in one fell swoop, far beyond what any conventional camera sensor can grab, and definitely more than any monitor or printer can recreate. But, if you shoot a series of photos of your subject in a way that captures the optimal lighting for everything you see and combine them properly, you can come close. In other words, via HDR photography you can approximate what your brain "sees" through your eyes. Just how many exposures need to be combined depends on how diverse the lighting is, and there are plenty of great HDR tutorials out there showing you how to do it with as few as 2 or 3, or as many as 9 (and more!), so dig around and give it a shot.
