[HDR-photo] Re: Bracketing

[Lincoln Michaud]

Thanks Keith,

It's good to see that I am not trying to do something out of the  
ordinary.

A couple questions:

1. Following the recent posts about stacking images to reduce 'noise'  
would you think this is just as valid coming from slide scans?

2. Is registration of images more of an issue with slide scans as  
opposed to digital captures?

2.  Is it sometimes advisable to modify the exposure bracketing to  
cover more of one side of the scene?  For instance,  if you are  
shooting an interior shot(metered for inside) and know some outside  
window light will be blown out.  Can you just tag on a couple  minus  
exposures?  In other words,  will it confuse the HDR software to have  
lopsided bracketing such as:
-4,-3, -2,-1, 0, +1,+2    ?

Thanks for your feedback,

                                             Lincoln
