A problem that photographers have had to deal with for years is how to control contrast in bright conditions or where the subject has ttoo wide a range of shadows and highlights. This was the case with film originally as well as digital photography now. There is a huge gap between what we can see and what we end up getting on film or on our sensor. This of course is why we become involved in image editing to try and combat that contrast.
