step value of bracketed exposures (1/3, 1/2, or 1 EV
step)
My Recommendation: I normally bracket with at least a 1
EV step value (1 stop) so that I can get a good spread of light
values in high dynamic range (HDR) images. In most cases, I
will do a three- to five-image bracket, with one or two images
overexposed and one or two images underexposed by 1 stop.
This type of bracketing allows me to combine detail from the
highlight and dark areas in-computer for the HDR exposures
everyone is experimenting with these days.
