Default White Towel Exposures

My Light level is a bit low but I tried working my Cam Settings off the White Hand Towel anyway.
My ISO is 1250 Manual. My EV is "0" Default, Minus 0.33 and Plus 0.33 in a 3 exposure bracket.
These two are the "0" Default images.
The settings I got from the White Towel I used to do my subject.

I take a 3 image bracket of the White Towel for my Detail and Texture accuracy - along with White Balance Accuracy - as well (with a Magnifying Lupe) - before I do any subject images - also in 3 image bracket.

If the need arises, I can do this as well. I find it most helpful - as it keeps me
from making exposure errors by guessing what exposure I should use -
With a Magnifying Lupe - keep a strong eye on my texture and details of the White Towel - as I change my ISO and or EV - one click at a time - above or below Default "0". This idea helps greatly to keep my exposures accurate.
