    Bracketting confusion



    Hey all,


    so I was out today shooting and I wasn't really sure what exposure I wanted on a few things so I would do some bracketting and I would just take the one I like the most. I had my 24-70 f2.8 set to f/4 in Av mode and this one shot really perplexes me. The bracketing from what I've experienced previously messes with shutter speed on Av and it's been fairly clear this is true but today my one shot was said to be 1/15 shutter speed (+2 exposure) and its WAY too sharp to be hand held at this, normally the lowest I can shoot with decent results is down to 1/50 or so without getting lots of camera shake. So I'm just wondering did I just get really lucky or is my XTi lying to me about the shutter speed





    here's the shot (only processing is some sharpness and a bit of cropping on the bottom to get a bench armrest out of the way):

    At 24mm it's possible to get a tight shot @ 1/15 if you are somewhat steady.

    I think you nailed it.


    1/15 is pretty good for 24mm, well done!
