What Is A Histogram And How Can It Help Us When We Shoot? Hi and welcome to Episode 114 of the Photography Explained podcast.
I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. No Google required but I did need my camera which was nice.
Before I go on I need your help. I need your questions to answer. More on this at the end.
Here is the answery bit.
A histogram is a visual representation of the tones in a photo. A histogram is a graph which shows the distribution of the range of tones from black to white. Histograms can be found in most cameras, and also in image editing software such as Lightroom. A histogram will tell you if a photo has been under exposed or overexposed, or if the exposure is OK. Every histogram is different, and the data in a histogram can help with image capture and processing.
