[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 6709, member: 1061"] As hi-tech as digital cameras are these days, image sensors are still nowhere near capable of reproducing what the human eye can see. At best, digital cameras survey a scene and do a "best guess" or "average" on tonal differences and lighting. This is especially true if part of your image is dark and another part is light. Middle to high-end cameras (such as your D90) can shoot in bracket mode. This mode takes 3, 5, or even 7 successive shots of the same image...each with a different exposure, usually 0.3 difference between them. My photo used 3 shots: 1 overexposed, 1 under exposed, and 1 normal exposure. When combined into a single image with HDR software, there is a more accurate representation of light and shadow areas. Using the software, one can choose to be artistic and exaggerate these areas for dramatic effect or leave them be for a more real-to-life photograph. [/QUOTE]
