Stephanie challenged me to learn how to use my camera's exposure compensation feature. She had used that to combine several photos into one. That will have to wait in my case. I did learn how it works and it seems very useful to have the bracketed exposure shots to choose from. Typical to my behavior of late, I waited until Sunday afternoon. I'm posting several examples on this week's dates. In each case the shots are shown in the order the camera takes them -- the one at the level the camera has metered, and then one that is underexposed by the margin set, and one similarly overexposed. I can't remember without going back into the camera, how wide the bracket was set. I tend to like things a little on the dark side, though there is something to be said by lightening up an area to reveal detail that otherwise is hidden in the dark shadow. I do prefer the middle one in this case, and in almost all cases wouldn't choose the over exposed versions. Putting these shots into the collage using Ribbet seriously reduces the file size so I may take a couple of my experiments and post my preferred exposure as a single shot.
