How do I find the bracketing menue on a Nikon d3000 so I can try HDR pics?

I don't think this camera has the auto bracketing feature, you would have to do it manually, changing your exposure for each shot.

Okay, I think I found it. I don't use it so..... On menu go down to the icon that looks like a page (Recent Settings) then scroll down until you see AF-area mode, select that. There is an option for 3D. Is that what you are looking for?

Be sure to change it with ONLY the Shutter speed - NOT the aperture. Take the meter reading form the camera in any mode you want, then set EVERYTHING to manual using that setting. No auto focus, No A, No S, No P.

Now using the shutter dial only, go down 1, 2, or 3 stops, then in one stop increments, go back up. Do as many underexposed as over exposed. Be sure to do one at the meter setting also.

Obviously you need to be on a solid tripod for this.

Thanks CaptainC. Great explanation, and thank you for following up on what I posted. Shame on me for giving "partial" information, especially when I get irritated when people answer a question of mine that way. :oops:

I have a d-3000 and it does not have bracketing, in order to do HDR you will have to do it manually.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me the subject line of a long conversation that we had very recently about getting a HDR image using ONE image?

A million thanks,
Gordon
