Digital BW, The Print

CJ,

I do the same; bracket with 1/3rd and 2/3rds under to make sure I don't blow
out the highlights. Which of the three I use just depends on the highlight
detail. It is easy in PS to recover shadow detail, especially in CS with the
new shadow/highlight tool. Or in Camera Raw or Nikon Capture. If you have
got raw files, you can 'overexpose' one version of a file and 'underexpose'
another, and then layer them and merge them to give the result you want.
