Mostly. With a decent camera -- pocket or professional -- you can generally put them into manual mode, control the exposure carefully, and take a shot that has decent highlights while still capturing dark details.<br /><br />Combined with a bit of a saturation boost, maybe some dodge & burn (lighten the dark, darken the light), and other post-processing, you can often come up with some pretty amazing photos. Stuff that is beyond what the human eye perceives.<br /><br />But, yes, it will be different than what the human eye sees; never quite the same.<br /><br />Like many things, the conflict between technology vs. a few million years of evolutionary refinement is not much of a contest.bbumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733373200607345676noreply@blogger.com
