Bracketing is the practice of taking several photographs of the same subject with different settings applied, in order to get a wide variety of looks for the photographer to choose from - effectively they are increasing their chances of finding their "Goldilocks" photo. In the above assignment I began with a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second, an aperture of 5.6, and an ISO of 1600 finding myself at the center of the light adjustment bar (the middle photo). Next I brought the aperture up a stop to 8 for the topmost photo, followed by bringing the center photo down a stop to 4 in the bottom photo. This allowed me to create an underexposed and overexposed image of the same subject.
