I don't need to concider the scene before me and evaluate the light sources and positions, then decide if I need to adjust exposure. Maybe I don't need to look at my subject and decide which meeting mode would be appropriate and maybe fire of a test shot to check my histogram. All that is now a thing of the past with your method? Simple as that? Wow - I can't wait to get home and set my expsoure compensation now that I have been shown the light by the great Kenneth Caleno.

Edit: Oh I missed out the bit about using autobracket. So on top of setting my camera perfectly for evey shot ever I now need to take three versions of it just in case? Well that sure does make it easier, definately living up the the great Ken Caleno's mantra of getting it right in camera.
There are none so blind, as those who will not see. The exercise was if a perfect image was wanted everytime,this was how to get it-It's that simple. I would only use this method If I had a highly paying client wanting an exactitude of image within a limited time, as most of the time I get it right, anyway. regards
