A normal camera does not have as great a dynamic range as human vision. However, you can take multiple photographs at different exposure settings and combine the images in software afterwards to achieve the same result as a single photo with a larger dynamic range — that is to say, a high dynamic range (HDR) image.
A few years ago, I wanted a photo near a window with one half on sunlight and the other half is shadows. I tried to adjust the camera, the distance, direct or indirect sunlight, the illumination inside the room to illuminate the "shadow". It was impossible, the sun is too bright compared with usual light sources. I finally gave up and faked it with gimp :) .
