A misunderstanding on my part, I guess; I thought you were dumping on
automated bracketing generally, not just for HDR.
That said, I'd think that in HDR photography, where close attention to detail
is important, you'd always want to minimize the amount of manual intervention,
so as not to jiggle the camera and cause image registration problems. But what
do I know? As you surmised, I've never done any HDR work.
