It is something that I do hope to experiment with. However, while just trying
something to see what happens does have value, I feel that I could do a much

behind what I'm trying. If not,

the ramifications of adjusting sensitivity (ISO) on my camera. Please
correct the errors in my understanding.
In the simplest form, it is a measure of how many LSBs per photon (or

For me, extended bracketing is nearly useless:
