Hi!

Interesting list indeed!

By intensively using bracketing for years now i found out - for my own use and style of shooting of course - that 9 shot using 1 step difference is most appropriate when bright light-spots and deep shadows are in the scene.
Using PromoteControl i coud use up to 41 steps . . . but that´s a bit extreme . . .

On the other hand i experienced that shooting straight into a sunset - or sunrise - most likely it takes 12 steps or more for getting it all covered smoothly.

In terms of panorama: it´s a hell of a mass to shoot and process it all before stitching. Using my 85mm for a sphere it takes 200 shots@20% overlap . . . x9 or x12 . . i decided to use max. 5 steps then.

For non-panoramas or mosaics with few images it´s doable with 12 steps in a time which allows to finish before the sun is gone away completely . . :-) - but: start early enough . .

best, Klaus
