there are very few people out there that can deliver a topic to be simple, to the point, clear, concise and comprehendable. This is why your channel is a godsent to budding photographers like myself. Thank you!
Yes! A really smart guy explaining something so everyone can understand it. Thank you. I'm really glad there is a regular Joe asking a "dumb" question.
I am a professional photographer who normally doesn't get involved in teaching. Simply put if you ask me a simple question about photography you get a mind boggling complex answer. Not exactly newbie's dream come true if you get my drift. That said I am currently engaged in helping someone new to photography learn the basics. Having stumbled upon this video and others on this website I feel as if dreams can actually come true! This character is a genius when it comes to explaining potentially mind boggling concepts in an incredibly clear and concise manner that should ensure that even a rank beginner can grasp the material almost instantly. A job more than well done! Thanks!
I see many video to understand why need histogram, how to use histogram, why keep in mind histogram when editing images, and finally my search end here after watch this video, I got my all answer on Histogram, Thanks, I became fan of you.
Yet another fantastic tutorial. Everything always explained in easy to understand terms. You take vitally important topics, that are often confusing to many photographers and make them really simple to understand. The examples shown in the tutorials , the added graphics etc are extremely helpful. Not only do you know your subject intimately, but you're great at getting the information across, in a manner that I truly understand. Many thanks for all the knowledge you share. Great work!
I rarely subscribe, but I had, this dude is just awesome! I am getting extremely good after watching just 2 of his videos. The craziness just making learning a lot less painful.
The vertical axis does not "number" the pixels but actually describes the bit depth & density of colors captured by the pixels contained on the sensor. Of course where more data is available - either in the shadows, mid-tones, or highlights; the vertical aspect of the Histogram identifies which colors (and neutral densities) have the most scene information. Pixels = bit depth & density sensitivity. Pixels are arrayed on the sensor. The larger the pixel means more color sensitivity and most generally more bit depth. This is why a 12bit, 14 bit, 16 bit can differ so significantly when given equal treatment in post production, and final print size being equal. A Histogram illustrates the range of color data on the domain of darkest to lightest image capture.
wonderfully explained as I expected. It's funny i already knew about this and {most others} but I like how you present the information, it quite entertaining. Keep it up, I will keep checking back.
Now i understand it.. hehehe i'm a they called beginner so i wanted to know more about DSLR.. do you have videos or review about my camera its canon (REBEL T6 1300D)?
Love your amazing videos!! They help me a lot! I wonder, I you make Aviation photography tutorial? What shutter speed, aperture & ISO should be used (also at night), in my case I'm using Canon 6D with Sigma 600mm C & I need some help. Thanks!
How do you get your rich colors, tones, and contrast seem even throughout the whole photo? I remember seeing a video that you explain how you would get great photos with the attributes that I mention above. Great videos by the way!
Guillermo Ledezma Hey Guillermo, a lot of it comes down to the right lighting. I tend to shoot right around sunrise or sunset when the light across the landscape is very even. And often I'll use graduated ND filters or post processing to darken the sky with respect to the foreground, and this gives a very nice quality of light to the image. Cheers, J
Thanks for the great tutorial! I have a super technical question and one that has me totally twisted -up when shooting RAW. I like to reference the histogram and expose to the right, but I am not sure the histogram is giving me a true representation. When using the histogram on the back of the camera am I correct in saying that it is a representation of the cameras jpeg and not a RAW file? If I select custom JPEG features in the camera that seems to change the histogram for the exact same exposure? If these last two statements are true, how do I get the most performance out of the camera when referencing the histogram and making exposure adjustments. I like to shoot RAW plus JPEG, but if the custom JPEG settings I am using changes the histogram then I am not sure what I should be doing as I want the best RAW exposure I can get. Told you I was all twisted-up!
Hi, so I had a question. I'm 17 and I've been into photography for some years now but I wanted to know how to make money with my pictures? I want to buy a new camera but it's hard to get the money, how do you do it?
emilioguzmanor Hi Emilio, be careful not to put the cart before the horse! Start with a love of photography. Shoot what you love with whatever camera you can afford. Once you've found your direction and vision and have built a great portfolio, then start thinking about business. But first, keep it about love!
Not exactly correct. It can be all the way to the right or left and still be OK. If your in the snow or if your against a black wall. Your pixels will be all the way to the right or left and you exposure is fine.
I assure you I've done the exact same thing. PS your vids are some of my favorite. Informative, creative, and of course funny. I like that. Keep up the good work.

This is the most easy-to-understand, straightforward, concise, and clearest explanation of the histogram that I've found. Thank you!

Thanks so much for a fantastic and concise explanation. I will use the HG more wisely from now on.
I love these videos so much. They are so simple, yet give so much information.

I show my photography class all of your videos and they are learning fast.
Jose Romero Nice! Can your school add me to the faculty list? :)
You are a gentleman and a scholar sir! This is spot-on! :)
I sometimes use aperture priority to check the exposure if the light are changing often 😊 great video!
just came across your site, truly explain that where I can now understand histogram. Thanks a lot
dude your videos are really great, hope you make more soon
I don't comment very often but that was one of the more useful and helpful tutorials I've seen. Great Job!
JBurg Glad to hear it!

Oh man! Thank you so much for this. I've been shooting for years but never understand the histogram. Shame on me. You are awesome!
jheffhree Woot woot! Glad this helped!
nicely explained and now for md it's very clear and easy to understand :) thank you for your video
This is the most easiest one to understand thank you
great overview! Thanks man.
The best explanation! got it, thank you!
I love your video. The are funny an educating. Keep them coming...
I love how you choose the most epic locations to shoot tutorials. Where did you shoot this one?
Thank you for this helpful video. :)
Very helpful. Thanks!
Perfect explication, sir!! Thank you very much!!
Your videos are so helpful, thank you!
Great information!
hello Sir thank so much for your very clearly expelanation about Histogram good luck
you are awesome - amazing explanation.. plz keep doing these videos
Whoa! Thank u!! great video!!
This is all very interesting,but surely a photographer has the skill and talent to be able to see whether a photo is balanced or not?
This explanation though is very fine.

Professional Photography Tips wow thanks a lot, I'll keep working on that, I definitely love it!!
histogram means only brightness? or what??
well thanks for the video, great job!
Hi, im new here. this is very helpful! thanks! btw you kinda look like nice peter.
cool. thanks
you're fun :)
Can someone tell me why I'm getting gaps in the histogram when I adjust the brightness? i.imgur.com/wtFj0P7.jpg
Finally! Someone who explains the histogram that even a caveman could understand. Thank you!
Helpful
Thank you :)
bleed blue You bet!
0:42 PHOTOGRPAHY :(
didnt show the correct histogram for the pictures at the end
1:20 until you get into the actual content... zZz
cool wig

Caught the spelling error :)
