    You know, it really doesn't matter because in photography it's 100% subjective either you like the shot regardless of what the histogram says or you don't. If there was no such thing as a histogram you still would judge the shot visually like you would with a histogram. I love this guy.

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Well, yes and no, Benny. If you know how to read the light e.g. in a landscape and you are out in the bright sunlight, it's easier to read the histogram than judge your display with all the glare around (unless you know your display really well, and/or are using a mirrorless camera or a display loupe).

    Thank you. I have been lecturing across the country for 20 years not to judge your exposures with the histogram. I have been an advocate for using the Hoodman Loop to judge exposure since it first came on the market. The Hoodman is a must for DSLR to block the ambient light to better evaluate the exposure. Also, relying on the histogram while editing images can also be a disadvantage.

      @wolfamri  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So nice of you, Ravi! It helps having a lot of gear when shooting self portraits ;). I used 4 flashes with strip softboxes and cheap timer cable remote. Sometimes I also use a monitor because my camera doesn't have a monitor I can tilt so that I see myself. People who say it's all about the photographer and not also about the gear are just not honest 😉. But there are many workarounds to things, so one must not despair either.

      Thanks again. The closer the light to your subject, and the further away the background, the darker the background will be.
      But I need to admit, I had to remove the lights in photoshop, otherwise they would have been in the frame. But it was easy because all I had to do is paint black color over it.

    I am very much a beginner to photography and like any beginner I encountered a few problems when attempting to take photos and they did not turn out as expected, after contacting others on TH-cam who were professionals in photography, I unfortunately came away with the impression that the professionals thought they were talking to another professional not a beginner and assumed that I knew quite a bit already about photography and so missed out a number of steps in there explanation.
    Thankfully after watching Wolfs videos, I finally found a professional who could clearly communicate with a beginner and impart information and advice that I could understand and at the end of the day be able to take a decent photo.
    Wolf seems to have the gift of providing advice, like sending a picture, please keep the videos going Wolf, they make my photography a lot easier.

    Question for you, what about exposing for the highlights????

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exposing for the highlights or ETTR is very popular, but some have shown that in never cameras the advantage isn’t as big as it used to be. And it would’t make sense to always do it either. Only for shots where there is a need to brighten the shadows and maybe the blacks). But I admit I do it at times.

    @jmctavishiii 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Excellent explanation of the histogram. Especially the information about "black" and "white" being ranges in Lightroom and that the histogram stretches vertically. Those are things I seemed to notice, but I wasn't sure WHY it was being stretched.

    • @jmctavishiii
      @jmctavishiii 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Replying to myself to add: I also notice that when I push the white or black slider to the edges of the histogram in Lightroom, some sort of algorithm starts compressing the whites/blacks on the histogram. On the histogram, you see things getting smooshed together, and the amplitude in that area of the histogram increases as well.
      IDK why it happens, how the algorithm works, or how to interpret results at the extreme ends of the histogram. Is it compressing the histogram only (as in, the histogram values from left to right are not linear in order to be easier to read), or is it compressing the actual photo, or maybe both?
      I of course don't expect you to answer these here in this comment thread, but these are some things I'm thinking about after watching your vid.

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, James. Well, if you raise the whites or lower the blacks, Lightroom basically reduces reduces the brightness of the tones that lay in that area. So it is kinda compressing the histogram too. But the histogram is a reaction to the image rather than the other way around.
      However, when using either of these sliders, Lightroom isn't only affecting that area of the histogram, but also affects the other areas. Just not as much as the target area. I hope that makes sense 😬😆

      Thanks for explaining, Tim. No, I don't pay much attention in this regard. But they can be helpful if you want to make sure to not overexpose. You would have to understand what exactly they tell you. If it's 100% white or black, or less than that. Some cameras offer zebra overlays that would let you set a specific value. E.g. 98% that is more useful IMO.

    Thanks for such a good video! Coming from a stats background (I've published peer-reviewed stats papers) the histogram has always made a ton of sense to me. I'm just starting to get into photography and it seems like a lot of people don't actually understand what a histogram is. Your video really sets it straight and I think all photographers, even pros, should watch this.
    While in the field, it seems to me that the histogram is more there for you to look at when you can't trust the image on the back of the camera. If you are in bright sunlight it will be hard to see the screen properly, and the histogram will let you see what the photo looks like. You can then compare the histogram to what you see with your eyes to make sure the image is as close to reality as possible, or the look that you want to get.

    That was very helpful advice! thank you.
    I want to add one last tip and that is to use the zebra function on your camera if available. this shows you exactly what parts of the image are about to clip and you can decide if you want to save the details or not.
    A good example use case would be natural light portraits; I often have to blow out the background and clip large parts of it in order to expose the subject correctly and there the zebra function is extremely useful.

    Hello Wolf, as a beginner your videos are really helpful, have you done any videos regarding the use of ND filters, I really want to create the blur effects with water/lakes etc, I have just purchased a ND3-ND1000 filter, I also have a beginner’s camera fz82, for longer exposures than 4 seconds I have to go to the Artistic Night setting which allows up to 60 settings. Not sure how this setting affects everything else.
    Do you have any tips as to properly use ND filters, have seen quite a few other videos on the subject which at times do not seem to give a clear idea as opposed to yours, so any tips you have regarding the use of ND filters would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards Charlie

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there. Thanks for the nice words 🙏🙏. I just checked the manual, but couldn’t find exact infos on the artistic Nightscape mode. Is it 60sec only, or can you choose shorter shutter speeds too?
      ND filters are basically sunglasses for your camera and can be measured in stops. unfortunately their naming is really weird. ND1000 is a 10 stop filter and will reduce light entering the camera b these exact 10 stops. So instead of 1/1000sec you get 1sec.
      If that is a little hard to grasp, I have just today published a new website, and I created a cheat sheet for that. You have to register though (free) to get access to a downloadable pdf. It explains the concept of stops. I could create an ND filter cheat sheet. Great idea! exposure-triangle.com/exposure-triangle-alternatives/#better_models_to_explain_image_brightness

      Hello Wolf, thanks for the prompt response, I only found out about the 60 second exposure time after a bit of research, it seems that the normal exposure time is only 4 seconds maximum, which makes long exposures a bit limited, although using Artistic Nightscape mode allows you to take exposures up to 60 seconds and yes you can change the shutter speed. The problem I seem to encounter is, I line up the picture, apply the ND filter, set the shutter speed as per my phone app, take the picture that’s where it seems to fall down, I am not sure about this switching to manual focus mode after setting the shutter speed for the filter if that is causing any problems, I have downloaded your check sheets and will go through them. I think I need a step by step guide for dummies regarding how to take a picture with an ND filter, all my other photos seem to be fine just the ND filter thing.
      Thanks again for your assistance Wolf, very much appreciated.

So on the left side of the graph is the left side of the frame and on the right side of the graph is the right side of the frame. The brighter the area in the waveform, the more parts in this “column” of pixels have that brightness level.
