Nice covering of the histogram at a level a novice can understand. I’ll be writing something about histograms on my http://www.rookiephoto.com blog in a few months. In the meantime I’ll double check the levels on some of my Flickr posts. Feel free to comment at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kylebailey

Great Post!

Thanks for the feedback, you all. Gonzo, I should have written DSLR, but I wrote 35mm camera because I sometimes think DSLR might confuse some readers. But on second thought, 35mm is really not a accurate term for digital photography. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the article. I’ve never really understood what that thing was all about. Great introduction. Thanks again.

Not a bad article if you’re not familiar with the histogram…however, I’m a little perplexed by the statement: “While the Histogram feature can be found in all 35mm digital cameras, the tool might not be easily visible”.

35mm digital cameras??

Thanks for this article. It helps me to understand the idea behind HDR photography a little better.

Not sure if it still is, but the histogram use to be only the green channel. Read your camera documentation to see if you have an RGB histogram.
