Exposure Bracketing: when you bracket your shots you take exactly the same picture of your subject at several different exposures. One that is slightly under-exposed (negative exposure), and the second one slightly over-exposed (positive exposure)
Exposure Condensation: is how you manually set the exposure for each photo. It can quickly adjust how light or how dark your exposure will be using these controls
Start with 1 stop variations. So, take a shot at -1 on the exposure compensation dial, then turn the dial so it reads -2 and then -3. Repeat, this time overexposing at +1, +2, and +3. You may not use all these images in the final HDR but it’s good to have the data just in case
AEB:
Automatic Exposure Bracketing is when the camera automatically takes three or more shots, each at a different exposure.
Or set the amount of “bracketing” like this…
In the menu, select the second tab and go to ‘Expo. Comp. /AEB
- Use the dial on the top of the camera to set the range of exposure you want to capture with your 2nd and 3rd photo
- After you have set the exposure range, you will see two extra marks on the exposure metre…
- Now take 3 photos and your camera will automatically change the exposure for each one.
- TIP: You can also set the camera to continuous shooting, to take 3 photos in close succession – all you need to do is hold the shutter button down.
HDR Photos: is a technique that helps you get details in the brightest and darkest parts of your photographs. It can be achieved by taking multiple bracket images and blend them together to create a single beautifully exposed photograph with a full dynamic range of tone.
Editing Process
To achieve the following Images, I edited the Vignette, Exposure Bracketing, HDR and Vibrancy
Of course I couldn’t use the same settings for all my Landscape Photos. E.g. using the same Vibrancy setting to make the image too colourful or adding a Vignette to a slightly brighter image which blends in quite well creating a fading effect and using the same Vignette on a different image that is darker wont make it stand out as much.
