exposurescans
Exposure scanning, commonly referred to as an *exposure scan*, is a method used in photography and digital imaging to capture a range of light intensities within a single frame. Unlike traditional photography, where exposure settings are fixed for each shot, exposure scanning involves taking multiple exposures of the same scene in quick succession, often with varying shutter speeds, apertures, or ISO settings. The resulting images are later combined to create a final output that retains detail across both highlights and shadows—a technique particularly useful in high-contrast scenes.
The process is frequently employed in astrophotography, landscape photography, and other fields where dynamic ranges exceed
Exposure scanning differs from *bracketing*, which intentionally captures multiple exposures for later selection, as it emphasizes
The term "exposure scan" is sometimes used interchangeably with *multi-exposure* or *bracketed exposure*, though the latter
