RE: [Digital BW] Digital vs scan for BW Print

2005-07-07 by John Moody

It depends on your camera and raw processing software.  Experiment to see
what works for you.  The type of shot, landscape, wedding, magic-hour, etc.
makes a difference as well.
I have a 1Ds and a Rebel XT.  My 1Ds exposure needs to be all the way to the
right within about 1/3 stop for best results.  I use +/- 2/3 stop
autobracket _always_.  The XT seems to have much more latitude; so much more
that I rarely bracket with it.  I only shoot raw, FWIW.

If I understand what your saying, then for quick shooting, would it be
advantageous to auto bracket shots when shooting digital then?
DSLR's are rather automated beasts. I don't do this currently, but
maybe I should. Thoughts?
