James - On the subject of "bracket photo", what is the advantage of it over manipulating a single digital photo with software (i.e. photoshop)?

thanks

Photoshop is a modern day dark room if the image is too over exposed or too under exposed you still won't get the definition in the shadows or highlights they will be washed out or dark. Bracketing allows you multiple shots in slightly different light levels, the more you can choose from the more likely you are to get the shot.

Sam,

Most modern day DSLR's have the bracekting function. Heck, even my 2004 Fuji had it. All you do is have to program it. In the old days (Like James says) it was much more expensive to bracket your photos (film costs). The more pictures that you shoot, the better chances are that you'll get the right one.

HDR photography is a form of bracketing as well, the middle and higher end DSLR cameras take one over exposed, one under exposed and one correctly exposed shot and combines them. Read HERE
