Histograms In Photography

Another great video, already subscribed, downloading the book, looking forward to getting stuck in, I've been a Nikon user for many years now, long before digital, I don't think digital was even science fiction back then. Cheers Steve. Definately the definative site for Nikon users...

i rarely comment but man youre so fucking good at explaining stuff

Thank ❤ sir for making such wonderful videos. Sir did you make the video of colourful histograms you had mentioned at the end of this video? If yes pls provide the link of the video.

Can you have your histogram live in your viewfinder to make adjustments prior to taking the photo? In a Nikon D5100 model…

By far the best video on histograms on YT. You covered every single important aspect and got it right where others sometimes got it wrong when they oversimplify things. Well done!

Thank you for this, finally a clear answer to how to read a histogram!

As always, you are an invaluable resource

This lesson, like your books, is excellent.

Thanks for your help

This was priceless to me thank you

This is by far the best explanation on YT. Thank you for making such a concise video!

Thank you so much

Very good voice, good speed, good explanation, great graphics, super clipping - subscriped

Thank you. Yours is the best Histogram tutodial I have seen so far.

So when i should change the histograms than the pictures change?

The histogram is totally over rated..........Regardless if the histograms say your picture has to much or little highlight or shadow
in the end you're going to look at the picture and either going to like it or not. It might say there is too much highlight but the picture might look great to your eye.

Excellent info!!

HI i have the Nikon D7000 and cannot get the histogram to show on live view is this normal on this model , Regards Mick

👍👍

Still think Histograms are unnecessary hype

Awesome video and tutorial 👌

Nice Video. Thank you Steve

Thank you very much.

Very helpful Sir.

The adverts being so badly placed ruined the vid

i subscribed. Youre welcome

this was the most informative, straight to the point video about histograms. no need for gimmicks. thank you!

Steve... Do you find yourself shooting over expose?

Quick question- How does using external flashes (aka speedlites) affect histograms?

Thank you for posting. I do more cine work or broadcast work and really prefer Waveform Monitors.. I really really wish DSLR’s and Mirrorless cameras had that option. Even live histograms would be welcome (only available on higher end DSLR’s and Mirrorless... should be standard on every model, but oh well.). I assume waveforms are far more taxing on small camera CPU’s?

Thank you Steve. I always enjoy watching your videos.

Histogram is an old instagram

Thank you very much for your tutorials, for they are most helpful. I do like your presentation.

💥I always greatly enjoy your content, Steve. After watching this I’m convinced that I can’t go by what I’m seeing in my histogram since as you said every scene is different based on the amount of overall highlights or shadows. It doesn’t know what part of the scene I had intended on exposing properly.

Great explanation!!

Excellent video! I learned so much in such a short amount of time. You speak in "people" language instead of tech talk. It was extremely clear and informative. Thanks again!

Yes, the LCD panel is deceptive

Your tutorials are easily one of the best. Very interesting, lucid and to the point. I have a question to ask. How do I control the clippings in the histogram ? Looking to your early revert. Thanks & Regards.

pretty helpful. Thank you so much

Great information

Very informative.. Thank you..

Thank you! Such a helpful video

thank you for very informative video

I think histograms are the one thing that people get confused about. There is no right or wrong to histograms. Just keep your exposure so you don't have spikes in the shadows or highlights which usually means clipping. That's all I pay attention to at least. I mean they are useful, but they just tell you about the distribution of light in your photo (from light to dark). But I tell people there is no real right or wrong histogram, or perfect histogram (unless you photograph a gradiant from white to black... maybe then we could say that's a perfect histogram (evenly balanced) but it's not a very impressive or compelling composition. I just look for the blinkies (highlight warning and spikes on the right) and spikes on the left (shadows) and that's really it. Once I've accounted for those (or adjusted for them) then I don't dwell on the rest of the histogram that much.

Once again. I really like your videos. They’re entertaining without the flash and dash and I can easily understand your information. Well done! You’re making me enjoy my new d850 so much more.

Excellent explanation of histograms. I watched several other videos on this topic and yours is the best. I appreciate the examples you give. Thank you and all the best!
