No, there is a difference between looking at a scene like that in real
life, where the outdoor brightness is very high, and looking at a photo
of the same scene. The brightness of the brightest parts of the photo
depend on the light source illuminating the photo, in the same way that
looking at a photo of the sun is not as dangerous as looking into the sun.
