Composite photo taken using exposure bracketing techniques .

The photographer’s art sometimes involves as much outside the act of taking a picture as inside it. That’s even truer in the age of digital photography than with analog photography, although with that as well, a lot has always been done in the darkroom and the process of developing the image.

For many purposes, including exposure bracketing, it’s a good idea to invest in and use a separate, hand-held light meter rather than relying just on your camera’s built-in meter. When taking a series of exposure bracketed shots, you want to leave your camera in one position on a tripod, which means you can’t focus it on separate parts of the picture to obtain light meter results. A hand held light meter fixes this problem. You will, of course, have to manually set the aperture in accordance with the light meter results. (For this kind of picture, it’s best to keep a fixed and fast shutter speed, and vary the exposure using the aperture.)

Light metering can be simple or it can be extremely complex. Remember that photography is, in the end, all about light, and so the more you know about the light conditions before shooting the picture, the less in the way of trial and error will be needed. Of course, trial and error is much easier and cheaper with digital photography than when using film, so don’t hesitate to experiment.
