Understanding Exposure Part III: How to Maximize Dynamic Range | Master Your Craft

This is the best explanation of histograms that I have seen out of the multitude I’ve watched… Thank you

just my opinion, but the background music is annoying and distracting. Too loud and not the right style makes it so. please consider this in the future.

Great! Thank you :)

thanks very much, great video, background music a little bit distracting :)

hello sir, i don't have that color map in my lightroom i have a version of 2022 that i pay every month i search everything but i don't know how to see it any help ??

thanks

That's an amazing video demonstration.Very enlightening. Full of content with justification. Awesome. Gr8 tutorial. Never seen before on Histogram like this. Thanks. ,,

Great videos, but please: turn off that background noise (/music).

Learned a lot about histograms, ty!!

How can we have time to stand there looking at our histogram when we're busy trying to get the shot? And what's the quick way to take a photo?

Pye x Adorama.... I can watch it all day... Bring it on!!

Thanks for an AMAZING video again. Basic stuff that a lot of the time gets tamen for granted. A lot photographers don't even dominate the matter. Thanks for teaching us a bit more. You have a good gift of communicating your knowledge. Keep it up.

Awesome explanation of the histogram!

Anyone who aspires to teaching photography should watch Pye do it. He's excellent.

I shoot minor hockey. So my histogram is basically closer to the highlight end. I’m also using exposure compensation due to the reflections from the ice surface which the metering needs that adjustment. If I’m too far over there I’d course no details from the ice surface. So I usually drop my iso or my exposure by 1/3 or 2/3 of a stop to bring them back a bit.

Question: I find that my reds (on clothing) tends to be over saturated. Any tips on how to ovoid that? it tends to happen outside shooting with flash. I'm preparing to shoot with red backdrop in a couple days.

Short answer: expose to the right (without burning highlights) and use a color profile with linear response

Im new to histograms. Yrs is the easiest to understand so far!

For Lightroom version 9.3, the tone curve points range is now 255. No more %
Here are the numbers
20|10 96|122 168|214 198|237

The luminance histogram on Canon is only the green channel. You could be clipping on blue or red and not know it. There is a setting available to show all three colors.
