Why I NEVER use exposure bracketing as a pro landscape photographer...

You don't need to use HDR/exposure bracketing if you shoot on a higher-end Sony or Nikon mirrorless...

These new sensors have enough dynamic range that you should be able to capture all the data you need in a single image. If you can't, it isn't going to look realistic anyway when you do an HDR.

Simply expose for the highlights (meaning make your image as bright as possible without blowing out the highlights) and then bring up the shadows in post-processing.

And I know the most common argument will be that you're introducing noise when you bring up the shadows. But you really aren't on these new sensors. I've included a small example in this video where I brought up the exposure by 4 whole stops, and there is still absolutely no noise to be found in the shadows.

For those that don't have the latest and greatest cameras, there is still plenty of reason to use HDR. However, I believe HDR will become obsolete in a few years when all camera sensors have an even better dynamic range.
