When I'm taking a photo, the camera makes a decision on what the primary light source is and chooses it as the one to properly expose. If there are highly contrasting light sources, then it produces an image where one part is highly blown out, or highly under exposed. Check out the related picture as an example.
I just don't know how this works. First, is there a name for this common sort of exposure problem? Second, what can I do to achieve a good exposure? It seems that I only have the option to ratchet up the brightness, but one side suffers.
