This is really *great* stuff, Andy. Thanks very much indeed for going to the trouble of explaining it all. It’s going to take me a long time to get to grips with it all, but it’s really great to have this series of articles just at the very time when I’m trying to learn to use the camera.

So for example I would take one shot with the half click set slightly above the horizon and that would capture the cloud detail but leave areas of the ground too dark. Half-clicking just below the horizon would reveal those dark areas but the sky and cloud detail would be lost in glare and by half clicking directly on the horizon I would get the half-way house. This technique worked well for me and I would just generally keep the best resulting photo and delete the two worst ones. Really enjoying this series Andy; I've just bought a Panasonic FZ28 (bridge camera) and many of the settings are beginning to make sense!

But back to your bracketing with automatic cameras method, won't your camera simply recalculate it's exposure time when you switch iso settings? This will only work if you can fix the exposure time calculated on the first photo?
