I rare bracket, I consider it waste film, I like to use my trusted
meter plus my judgment (sometimes you need manual adjustment for
complex scenes) and in many cases you can't bracket unless it is a
scenic shoot. BTW dusk and dawn are the best time for scenic, street
scenes between buildings are hard to guess, portrait has to avoid
direct sunlight... I will only guess with negative film.
