thankayous :)cool - in the urbex environment I always shoot 6 exposures = -3 to +2 with a 1-stop gap (because of the bright windows/dark corners kind of thing), but in many situations 3 is just diddly fine (-2/0/+2)
this one was 6 exp but 3 probably would have done as there aren't any particularly bright areas :)

Thank youso the more extreme the exposure range the more shots you take with a smaller exposure gap but in general 3 shots 2 stops aparts?

yea alot of the really good stuff people do is done with 3 exposures (if they're telling the truth)I think camera quality plays a part in it but essentially the more extreme the difference in light, the lower down you'll need to go with the under-exposures to avoid blown-out highlights in windows etc.
the exposures do need to be equal distances apart or it spazzes out - ideally I would shoot -4/-2/-0/+2/+4 (and probably not use the +4) but my camera ain't all that :(

I have a Nikon D70, various lens ranging from a 105mm Macroto various zooms I also have a nice 50mm Prime. It has a very good range of exposures and I normal use 200 ISO which for some reason is slowest ISO most Nikons will shoot (except the newer expensive ones) various filters including Neutral Density and Grads. It's only a 6 megapixel DSLR (defunct now in the Nikon range) but the quality is still far better than a compact can shoot.

yep, that should do the jobcheck out the auto-bracketing feature and see what it can do (Nikon have always been a bit better with this than Canon - I have a Canon 400D, it came with a free dinosaur)

Yeah I can select anything from 1/3 of a stop upwards in 1/3 incrementsand can auto bracket for up to 3 shots
