Photography and phone cameras, sentence 1

Our eyes adjust to bright and dark at the same time, but cameras struggle, which is why a glowing sunset can come out dark and dull, and why people with the sun behind them come out as black shapes called silhouettes.

Who acts: eyes, cameras, glowing sunset, people, black shapes · What happens: adjust, struggle, be, glow, come out, call · To what, where: bright, silhouettes · Speech: someone speaks here
