We used to bracket with film to ensure at least one frame was correctly exposed. These days we have the histogram to tell us whether or not we have got the exposure correct or not. The real use for bracketing is as Geoff explains, so that we can either blend the shots together in our edit suite of choice, or create HDR images by blending more than one shot either side of the correct exposure to increase the dynamic range.
