not getting much exposure variation with bracketing

[melmartin]

Hi all

New Mavic Pro pilot. Using it mainly for still photography. Last night I was using exposure bracketing and taking 5 photos at sunset. A couple of the images had identical exposure. All were dark. Didn't get the brighter frames I'm used to seeing. Was set in auto, which may have been the issue, rather than manual. Any thoughts from experienced photogs? Was shooting raw images and assembling in Lightroom. What are preferred settings to getting an HDR using AEB?

Thanks

Yeah, when it is set to Auto you can easily hit the limits especially if it is dark outside or very bright. I usually use manual or aperture priority when shooting AEB's.

i would just do it manually by looking at the histogram. Adding/subtracting enough exposure to not be cliping highlights or shadows
