for now the cheaters method... But I'm starting to use bracketing as well...

The photos aren't v surreal, I just think they look nice :)

Bracketing is better - what camera are you using?

EDIT - Sony A200?

EDIT2 - the more realistic they look the better as far as I'm concerned.

Yup the a200 which limits me on auto bracketting to 0.7ev but I'm getting the hang of doing it manually

What do you mean only does three? How do I tell what mine does?
A700

Mine will take the normal exposure plus one that is higher and another that is lower. I set it for two stops either side.

And remember - you want to set the camera to aperture priority so that only the exposure is adjusted otherwise the depth of field changes.

EDIT - the a700 does 3 or 5 - choose 5. :)
 
Hold on you want to set the camera to "A" (aperture so only the exposure is adjusted? Wouldnt you just use manual setting? DOF will change when you start changing the aperture not so?

There's no need to set it for fully manual but there's nothing stopping you. As long as the aperture is constant you'll be fine.

So mine has steps of 0-5

Right - you want as many as possible. I'd experiment with how far apart you have them. Start off with one (-2 -1 0 +1 +2) or two (-4 -2 0 +2 +4) If you can do 1.5 that might be even better.

Bwana just a quick question please? So basically set to that, it would take 5 different photos of the same image at different exposures?

Exactly.

Automatically? You dont have to manually take 5 photos?

Not sure how it works with Sony but with my canon I set it to continues mode and let it fire away.
 
Speaking of which, I'm sure I remember in the beginning when I set my camera to AEB, I squeezed the shutter only once, and it snapped all three shots. Now I have to keep it until all three exposures have been made.
 
Ok, *mutter*

Gonna have to see if I can make a plan with the image thing... flickr is blocked at work so can't upload it there yet.
