Finally after so much time and so many videos I found someone who explained the histagram in details and showed how to use it in practice. Now I know how to implement it in my photography. It has always been a mystery to me, but not anymore. Thank you so much!
I had exactly the same thought. So many videos don't explain properly how to read it, and reprimand you for going too much to the left or right when it is actually just an objective reading on whether their are underexposed and overexposed areas.
Not only was this a great explanation of histograms that was easy to understand, but you also explained how it ties in to post processing with software and the individual benefits of changing highlights and shadows. Brilliant stuff.
As a new student of photography I find this video very very helpful. I didn't know what that chart was and how it would affect the image. Learned so much for 15 minutes. Thank you so much !!!
Thank you Paul for your easy to understand explanations. For years I took pictures. Now finally in my retirement I am learning photography and thanks to you I am doing just that.
WOW! The end where you mentioned "shifting to the right"......that alone is going to help me a ton! I have a feeling I will be referring back to this video, alot. Thank you so much for explaining it all!
Great video, Paul. Histograms may not be something that is used all the time, but good photographers appreciate and know how to use all the tools available to them. Some photographers in the comments never use this tool, and that's fine. They shouldnt criticize you for explaining it. I appreciate the explanation and application. Thank you.
So clearly explained. I have used Exp Comp by 'eye' and isn't always reliable. Clever technique to slightly overexpose, so you get your detail captured, then bring it down a bit in editing. It's clear editing gets good images looking great.
I know it's been some time since uploading this video, but maybe someone would see my comment. I'm an complete amateur starting taking photos, but I've got basic grasp of exposure triangle. Besides histograms, I tried to figure out captions of each photo and I wonder why this purposefully overexposed one ( 9:01 of video ) is being shot on ISO 500? It's overexposed already because of the reflecting sun, so was it set like this to make it overexposed even more to reach that effect? Thanks for any answer! Love the guide and those photos !
Once again Paul, you knocked it out of the park with this video. Absolutely the best explanation of histograms that I’ve seen. Clear, concise, unpretentious information, all wrapped up with good visuals.
Wow, thanks Dave - I'm a big fan of breaking things down and explaining in layman's terms, showing example and using diagrams and visuals, for that reason a video like this typically takes 2-3 days to complete. Really appreciate your feedback and support. Paul.
Am about 3 months into my photography journey and keep coming back to your vids. Great presentation and always simple, relatable advice and guidance... Keep them coming!! Thankyou!
I've always had this turned on whenever i'm taking photos and when it's available. I never knew what it was for until now but I'm thrilled to know i've been using it correctly this whole time. I always just shot for a bell curve. 😂😂
WOW WOW WOW you just blew my mind. I'm sitting here in London Ontario Canada and watched that video its 12:15 am and now i cant wait to get out tomorrow and fill a video card with your techniques thank you Paul. You explain things that i can understand and want to run out to try
Paul thank you very much for this! I knew I needed to better understand histograms and you did a great job of explaining everything with great clarity. Thanks again!
That is the best explanation I've seen. At last someone who is happy to explain in the best terms. I'll take some shots in Brisbane myself when I visit my daughter there next Year.
Great video. I finally learned what a histogram is and its purpose. I especially liked the post production use of histogram to manipulate final product. Well done.
Took me time to subscribe, been binging for a while, but here i am, learning so much more, just pasted this to someone questioning on another site thanks for the great comprehensive teachings ! Pete from London
Great job. I'm a beginner when it comes to histograms, tho I'm not a beginner to photography. I got interested in histograms when my brother dramatically improved a telephoto bird photo I'd taken. Now I'm very interested. Your video is a terrific place for me to start me on a new and fun journey toward even better photos. Thanks so much.
I’m just learning all about photography and want to get in it. This was the most simple but perfect way to explain this will be watching all of your videos on photography thanks
i'm learning SO much here compared to all the channels i have attempted to watch. i feel as if i'm really taking a photography class lol. great content, clear concise explanations. awesome
I have learned quite a bit when I looked at your videos. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T100 and I absolutely love the quality of the photos that it produces.
At last, an explanation I have understood. It's really quite simple, once you know how to navigate your camera controls and you've just shown me how to do that. As a relative newcomer to photography, I really appreciate your guidance and I shall continue watching your uploads. Thank you.
Many thanks Paul for bringing clarity to this important photography tool which I have ignored in the past due to my ignorance but now I am off to take much better shots!
Everything I need to know in a condensed format, in just 15 minutes . Brilliant, or should I have said, overexposed ! Jokes aside, this was a no nonsense complete, yet condensed version of everything I needed to know as a beginner to the histogram . Thank You !!
WOW, not only did you make me understand the histogram better, but now I'm ready to take a raw picture into LR and make it beautiful!!! Thank you so much. I'll be watching again for more lessons.
Thanks Paul. Your tutorials are excellent and we'll explained. If my teachers at high school were as good as you, I would have learned so much more, that's the 70s for you!
