What would you do

For this scenario how many stops would you use personally?

Id like to know peoples opinions on how many stops to use so i can get a better idea myself

one can't make that determination by looking at the finished images. post the normal shot which might help.

Start taking a meter reading for the shadows and then one at the highlights and count the stop difference. That should start you off , or set you "blinkie" function on and keep over exposing until the whole scene is blinking at you, then go the same number of stops in the other direction.

As Dan Burkholder says, "you can't be too rich, too thin, or make too many exposures."

Better to have more than you use than not enough.

Ok thanks, and Molsen it was just a question no need to be rude.
