Even though I am fairly well versed in the use of Histograms, seeing another point of view is always a good thing. Even though I have read numerous dissertations on histograms, and watched Mark Wallace's and Gavin Hoey's vids, your point of view is a slight departure and I did indeed learn more from your video. Very enjoyable and informative vid. Thanks for tackling one of the more difficult modern photography concepts. Thanks to you, I know more today than I did yesterday!
That's an amazing video demonstration.Very enlightening. Full of content with justification. Awesome. Gr8 tutorial. Never seen before on Histogram like this. Thanks. ,,
This is the a very similar way I had taught histograms in a photography club. In general, from a technical perspective, maximize the camera’s dynamic range to allow for maximum exposure latitude adjustment - expose the highlights to the right of the histogram - but never at the expense of the artistic intent. So based on the artistic intent, the photographer should have a good idea how the histogram should look like before taking the shot. Blinkies are OK if they are in sections of the image that are inconsequential because in some instances - like specular highlights - reducing the blinkies to nil, will probably result in an underexposed image with poor shadow detail (aka noise in shadows).
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.
Amazing video! I've a question that's not related to the topic. The description says that the mic used was Blue Yeti USB mic but Pye is using a lav mic. I wanted to know which lav mic is used for this video. The audio quality is on point!
Thanks, got some clarification on the use of the histogram. I tended to get the graph in the middle, without any clipping and not taking the scene into consideration completely.
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.
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.
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 ??
Multiple exposures merged in light room into an HDR image is how you maximize dynamic range. However, 40% of the image must be static in order to merge multiple images together.
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.
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.
