    Hi,
    I’m writing to suggest a possible enhancement to exposure bracketing
    feature that could further empower users in capturing more dynamic photos.

    Suggested Enhancement to Exposure Bracketing:

    Currently, exposure bracketing is somewhat useful for achieving dynamic
    range. However, I believe it can be expanded by introducing a mode that
    progressively captures images at varying shutter speeds with a specific
    flow:

    Here's the sequence: The camera starts by taking a photo at a 1-second
    shutter speed. Then it halves the exposure time for each subsequent shot
    (e.g., 1 second → 1/2 → 1/4 → 1/8, and so on) until it reaches 1/1000th of
    a second. After capturing the 1/1000th shutter speed photo, the bracketing
    would continue, but the shutter speeds would decrease progressively by
    thousandths (1/1000 → 1/2000 → 1/3000 → 1/4000, etc.) until the camera
    reaches its minimum possible exposure time.

    This would allow for capturing photos with wide range of exposure while
    ensuring a automatic smooth transition in shutter speed control rather than
    manually achieving this by hand or tripod which introduces shakes in photos
    or subjects in frame move too much and obviously it's time consuming when
    adjusting manually. The gradual progression from 1 second to the shortest
    possible exposure would provide a more comprehensive set of exposures,
    extremely great for HDR blending or other post-processing needs.

    I believe this addition could greatly enrich the bracketing capabilities of
    Open Camera, benefiting both casual users and photography enthusiasts.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Best regards,
    Roshan

    following are the exposures time suggested in detail
    following numbers are in seconds:
    1
    1\2
    1\4
    1\8
    1\20
    1\40
    1\80
    1\100
    1\200
    1\400
    1\800
    1\1000
    1\2000
    1\3000
    1\4000
    1\5000
    1\6000
    1\7000
    1\8000
    1\9000
    1\10000 (since my phone's camera minimum exposure time is this but can go below if available on other devices.
