Bracketing with Nikon D60.

[bigone5500]

I have been reading tonight on HDR photography. I am now confused as some say to vary the shutter speed and some say the exposure value. Is one correct? Is one better to use than the other?

I have been trying to get some HDR shots by varying my exposure value starting with setting my dial on Aperture priority mode. I then get things right then use the small button located just behind the shutter release which has the +/- icon. I'll set that to -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2.

Is this the right approach?

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum...

The exposure compensation is the automatic way to go, messing with the shutter is more advanced. Essentially they do the same thing. The exposure compensation takes the meter's levels and bump them up or down a stop or two. But, if you did it with shutter, you would have to use manual as shutter priority mode would 'fix' what you did to the shot.

Yep, you are on the right track! Good luck with your hdr.

Post some of your pics when you get them done. I love hdr pictures and want to try my hand at that soon.

D60 doesn't have an Auto-Bracketing feature as some other DSLRs do, and that makes it a bit more difficult when it comes to taking multiple exposures for an HDR. I almost always use manual mode, and adjust shutter speed manualy while keeping the aperture constant.
