Shooting in the sun tends to overexpose the image in centerweight metered shots,bracketing is when you set your camera to take a series of images with different exposures.On your camera body you`ll see a button marked 'BRK'bluesydude wrote:

Thanks Robbie. I'm not sure what bracketing is or what to do with if I knew what it was. I do not shoot in RAW. i tried and I never got a nice shot. They always seemed soft and the colors were always washed out.

#1 I feel more detail can be extracted from the raw file as well as slight
tweaking to correct the highlights
Either way they are nice shots for sure
