[QUOTE="Lee, post: 155227, member: 8142"] I believe I shot that in manual mode and tecnically broke the rules for bracketed exposures for HDR. I set the aperture I wanted and the shutter speed but had to up the ISO to 640 because that particular one was handheld as I'd packed my tripod and the museum was closing lol. Although I did shoot in aperture priority where possible, the lighting conditions in there had their challenges as the light coming through the skylights was quite harsh and there were sections where it was really dark ....... so sometimes my camera's meter for the 'correct' exposure on A mode was right off leaving the subject totally under exposed. The advice I was given on here and which makes perfect sense is to stick with aperture priority and when that was not possible not to mess with the aperture and to only adjust shutter speed which is what I did in this case. You make a valid point although you may not have realized it in that this shot was not necessarily one which called for bracketing, but being determined to try it out, I figured if I bracketed anything I thought could work, I had my correct exposure to save if it didn't seem appropriate and more to play with to get a feel for the software. I had the camera set to vivid most of the day. [/QUOTE]
