exposure bracketing two shots at different exp compensation..

[handsomejackuk]

having just had a new camera all be it nothing spectacular.. Fuji F600 Exr.. now this has an AEB mode but only covers +- 1 ev stop... now if i wanted to take two shots... and altered the exp compensation between shots. to say, -2, and +1 this would give me six shots at -3 -2 -1 first shot, and 0 +1 +2 on the second shot.. if this was on a tripod would this work better than just the 3 shot aeb mode... all taken on manual, or aperture priority..

any thought on this...????

Do you mean Manually Bracketting? Yes, this will work. Using a tripod, you can manually do as many exposures as you want. You can do 2 stops in between or whatever you want. You are pretty much free to do whatever you desire. Just make sure you don't shake the tripod. A lot of people prefer using more exposures for their HDR shots, and if you camera only does 2 or 3, then you may get better results from 6 or more exposures.

ahem yeah sort of...

what i meant was use the AEB feature to allow me to take 3 exposures automatically.. but each of the two shots i take to alter the epxosure compensation on each shot... so essentially i will get six photgraphs, at 6 various exposures with only two button presses.... and use a tripod to do this..

i presume i can do it... as there is an exposure compensation button on the camera too...

I think I understand now. You want to set the exposure compensation one direction, and take your 3 auto-bracketed shots. Then you want to set the exposure compensation differently and take 3 more auto-bracketed shots to end up with your 6 total shots. I THINK this would work, but I have never tried that. Hopefully someone will inform you that has already tried this approach. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

jsut googled it, and theres quite a few others have taken this sort of approach.... i give it a try...

How to get five (5) AEB Exposures?.. | Forums | HDR Creme

looks like its a common thing if a camera only supports 3 shots at low +-evs...

thanks...

Very cool! I may have to try this myself.

less button presses... means less camera shake at the end of the day i would have thought...

It might be possible to get a remote shutter release for your camera. That would end the shake issue.

(Barbarian checks) Yes, it looks as though that's an option for you.

where did you see a remote shutter release for my camera... ?
