Assuming you can use a low ISO, there's just no need for so many
brackets. There's nothing in those images that requires more dynamic
range than your camera can deliver. You don't need to worry about
shadows, so shoot to hold the reds in the histogram
I know people are doing the multiple-multiple bracket thing, but it's
only really necessary very seldom. They are doing it because they can,
or because it's fun or because they don't know how to use their editor.
