I've taken to bracketing 0/+1 for shots of buildings and 0/-1 for
shots that are mostly foliage.  This was partly based on Willem's
comments about how different the shadows from the two are, with far
more "light" bouncing around under the trees than near buildings.
(Studying my own contact sheets had something to do with it, too.)
And even then I'm sometimes disturbed by the lack of differentiation
in foliage.  So I'm trying the current roll with a basic EI of 250
instead of 200, shooting with a FM-2.  (I assume you stick with the
=46N-2 for HIE, as I do, because of the ease of bracketing where only a
stop or two is involved either way.)
