that's because our eyes adjust to differing lights much quicker

a camera can only realy expose accurate to give the best details HDR PHOTOGRAPHY GETS CLOSE TO OUR OWN EYES WHERE MANY EXPOSURES TO DIFFERING LIGHT VALUES ARE BLENDED thus giving photography near to how the human eye would see it

although HDR is a technique of the digital age and not much use for moving subjects

Compare Kinkade to Andrew Wyeth, or Alex Kanevsky, or Jenny Saville, or Odd Nerdrum, or Phil Hale...
