It is if the decisive moment is when you pick the winner off your light
table having spent an hour with a Schneider loupe looking for it.

But sure its weird if they're thinking happy thoughts during a darker
exposure or sad thoughts in pastels.
But its not as if bracketing is not a basic photographic technique when you
shoot people and just bushes trees and brooks.

But you're more a bushes trees and brooks kind a guy anyway Bob!
