Book Description
What does a histogram tell you about contrast, dynamic range,
underexposure, and overexposure? Why does exposure differ for
digital photography versus film photography? What happens when the
exposure is wrong?
In this digital short, author Andrew Gibson answers these questions
and more, showing how to use the histogram in practice to obtain
optimum exposure. Going beyond simply focusing on how to achieve
the "right" exposure for a given situation, he examines how the
question of exposure is as open to creative interpretation as any
other aspect of photography. By the end of this guide, you’ll
understand how to take a photo that is correctly exposed using the
tools provided by your DSLR camera.
