That sounds like you're set to get a high contrast range in your images, which your
digital camera – if set to shoot JPG or TIFF – will not be able to capture. Highlights will either be blown out, or shadows will be all black without any definition. Or both, of course.
You can tackle that by shooting in RAW format, then in PP create different TIFFs with different exposure settings from a single RAW file: say 3 TIFFs 2 stops apart, or 5 TIFFs 1 stop apart. Then you blend/merge them using HDR technique to create an image with well-balanced contrast.
