[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 334040, member: 12496"] I am unaware of other articles, but I think this will be a decent try. Back in the film days, we could not immediately see our exposure on a LCD on the camera. We only saw what we got hours or days or weeks later after the film was developed. So for critical work, while at the scene, it was not uncommon back then for photographers to use the exposure they thought would be correct, and to also take more tries with a little more exposure, and with a little less exposure. Like maybe three with more, and three with less, maybe in 1/2 stop increments, hoping at least one of these seven would be pretty good. My own notion is that we have the LCD on the back of the digital camera now, so we can simply just look at what we got (we can zoom in on it, and scroll around on it, and we can see it really well). Which should be more than enough to see, while we are there at the scene, and can adjust and try again if necessary. But digital cameras have a way of offering every imaginable feature, and they will do this bracketing too. You set the bracketing menu [B]for more than one exposure[/B], and it will do the more exposures at the exposure steps you indicate, and the number that you indicate. I'm not sure if newer cameras have automatic exposure exceptions now, but most shutters will simply expose one frame, but each new picture differently, according to these rules. That means you keep snapping the shutter, and the exposure keeps varying. If you forget you have set this option, all new pictures still keep varying the exposure. The computer cannot recognize the scene, to know if the same or greatly different. So make sure Bracketing is set to ONLY ONE FRAME. That turns it off. It will not affect a second one. [/QUOTE]
