How to use exposure bracketing
Exposure bracketing is a technique to help deal with poor or uncertain lighting by taking multiple pictures of the same scene at incremented exposure settings. Upon processing the photographs you will be able to choose the print that has the best exposure. This is a great way to learn and familiarize yourself with the effects of adjusting exposure settings on your camera.

Tips & Warnings
Keeping notes of your exposure settings and their effects will help you learn relatively what each setting does in poor lighting, thus allowing you to use the method less and get the right shot the first time.
Using the bracketing technique can be costly and wasteful. Overuse of bracketing eventually gets expensive, as more film needs to be purchased to capture all of the necessary shots.
