Digital
Camera: How To Interpret What You See
Does your digital
camera have a histogram as a feature? If so you
will want to know how to interpret what it shows. An example of
a photograph with good exposure is a histogram with
a graph above the bottom. It goes from left to right and shows no
imbalance of brightness values on either side.
The range of
tones being shown in the graph should should finish all the way
to one side or the other of the graph. When a histogram stops abruptly,
not going all the way to the side it means detail is being clipped.
To correc this, adjust the exposure. You can make
the histogram slope all the way to the ends.
To use the histogram
to help you evaulate your exposure, by using exposure
compensation in automatic modes to shift the historgram from
to the right or left.
An underexposed
sujbect will show up on the far right of the histogram draft. To
darken the exposure, adjust the graph toward the right.
Use the histogram
feature on your digital camera to create
the amazing effects you desire.
