AVOID CONTRASTY SITUATIONS for BetterPhoto

The extremes, however, are a problem for film and digital photography, but is especially a problem when shooting digital. When the lights and shadows are too extreme, the details of the areas are in danger of being lost. Even if it is "average" exposure, a compromise between light and dark areas, shadows tend to go black and the highlights are washed.

With digital photography, even a subtle difference, however: the complete loss of detail in the highlights. A clear zone on the bridge of the nose, for example, it would see the details of a negative, can easily be blown on a chip.
