Disadvantages of Digital: (continued)
Blowout means that a bright light source bleaches out detail and
color of the surrounding area of the picture.
A digital camera's
tendency towards blowout makes it almost incapable of capturing
"starbursts or moon beams" --two photo effects that often add a
dramatic impact to a picture. This is especially true in
underwater photography, where starbursts and moon beams emphasize
the boundary between water and air. Consider the film images

Typically, in digital photography, a bright light overpowers the
surrounding area, bleaching out detail and color. |
