That is because our brains are processing everything we see continually as though it is effectively a video. Instead of collecting all the information and storing it into one image like a camera does when you take a still, our brain sees everything within our visual range and processes it on average so we get to see everything and it also fills in any gaps where we might be missing information.

Can't wait for a Nikon that has human eye level of dynamic range

[lightningblender]

Careful there: "twice the dynamic range" is a dangerous term. 
The ARRI Alexa 35 has 17 stops of dynamic range, twice that would be 18 stops, since that doubles the range of luminance it can capture.
Twice the stops (34 here) would mean a 131072x fold increase in dynamic range.
Exponential/logarithmic scales are treacherous...

That's why a lot of people are going back to film. Film can handle much greater contrast where digital falls short.

[EvigPoesi]

It’s the way you talk. Love the enthusiasm!

[abcdefgboom]

That's why you should shoot raw photos and edit them in Light room

[zeeleton]

Let’s congratulate this guy for taking a photo using his eyeballs

[arin]

I love your videos it has helped me a lot with my personal photography keep it up ❤

[jasonwong]

One of the reasons I shoot film, i’m able to overexpose, get the shadow detail while not blowing out any highlights!

[TechnoBabble]

At least twice as much is an understatement. The Arri Alexa35 has about 17 stops of dynamic range, the average human eye should be around 20 stops.
Each stop more is double the brightness difference between the brightest highlight and darker shadow, so the difference is closer to 8x.

That's why you edit photos to make it look like the way you see it...

[Sendrim]

Human eyes: Theoretically around 21 stops of dynamic range.
Arri Alexa 35: 17 stops. (They just beat their own world leading dynamic range which was previously a little over 14 stops)
Living in this age of massive technological advancements is incredible, we're almost there... What happens when we go beyond the human eyes dynamic range? 😨

[inneedofacpl]

This guy is the reason my photography is good. Thank you.

[rph_redacted]

Well sorta kinda

Human dynamic range is very wide yes but it's not usable all the time. Our aperture needs time to adjust in the dark, it's much more sensitive when it's wide open but then it's too sensitive if it sees something too bright. So the dynamic range is very good, it's changes aswell.

Afaik from it's close to 20 which is still better than all cameras I know of.

Thank you for explaining things like this. Cause some camera "guru" there disks phones for not having that so perfect image for their point of view.

[brietman_]

Shoot therefore in RAW and stretch the shadows and highlights.
Or HDR.

[bamsemh]

Cameras are getting closer though, with the newest technologies. That's why people say new cameras are better. Even though old ones can give you the same results. New camera doesn't really mean better than your old one. It's just smarter and faster. Performance and quality wise, it's about the same. But imagine that day the camera can produce exactly as we see it with the eyes. Probably won't happen in my life, but it's getting closer.

[FirestoneAnimation]

I learned about this when learning Blender.

[User-sber]

I always wondered this..thanks love your videos

[furqankhan]

That's why you should use high dynamic range (HDR)
