Understanding Histograms In Photography

Send us Fan Mail

Histogram. Doesn’t sound like a photography thing. Sounds complicated. What is it, Rick? Do I need to know about this?

Yes, you do need to know about this. A histogram can help you get the best exposure you can and tell if you have not got the best exposure.

In this episode, I tell you.

• What a histogram is.
• How you can use a histogram to get the best exposure.
• How you can use a histogram to tell you if you got the exposure correct.
• What if I use a phone to take photos and not a camera?
• What if I use a film camera?
• And finally, what I do.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!
