First of all you have to tell us what the film you were using, if silde you
need to bracket at 1/2 stop for negative 1 stop is good enough. Sunrise and
Sunset are very difficult, if you have good enough experience you may try to
select one area that you expected to be show up as mid-tone (grey) on film
and do a single spot on it. I rare bracket but still recommend it if the
scene is really worth the extra frames.
