Exposure bracketing is when a photographer creates pictures with different exposure settings, photography bracketing can help you photograph high contrast scenes. Bracketing is an easy way to overcome technical limitations and create natural-looking images.

This technique is simply a way to ensure you’ve captured a scene with the “best” exposure possible by taking a series of three to seven photos with varying exposures. The purpose of this is to cover more of the dynamic range.

How to bracket photos

1. Set your camera on a tripod.
2. Select a bracketing mode in your camera settings. Most cameras have it somewhere; please refer to the user manual.
3. Select an appropriate number of brackets for the scene.
4. Set camera on 2 seconds delayed shutter. If you have this timer set, the camera will take all the brackets automatically. You won’t have to click the button many times. It prevents the slightest camera movements and makes the blending easier.
5. Click the shutter button.
