As someone else has already pointed out previously in this thread, the CCD detector in a camera responds linearly, whereas your eye responds logarithmically. What that means is that contrast differences (shadows) will always be greatly exaggerated in a photograph compared with the appearance in real life. The photo you posted may or may not be objectionable to the eye; you'd have to look at the actual device and see. Contrary to the popular expression, the camera can - and does - lie.
