Bracketing refers to the adjusting the F-stop setting of each shot up and down so you get a range of shots with your lens aperture at a normal state (as dictated by your light meter), a more open state, and a more closed state. This means that you "bracket" your subject from darker to lighter and then pick the best shot.
