Histogram Practice

Friday 16th Oct

Independent Research

This is a photograph that has been

taken when learning about histograms.

John my tutor asked the class to take photographs of the board and set are camera settings to a F-Stop of F.8, Iso of 200 and shutter speed to 1/125. Once we had done that we had to draw are histograms on the board. It showed that everyones histogram was the same or similar.

Histograms help you with your exposure and also it helps with the editing.

There are two types of histograms. The first one is on the back of your camera and the screen shot here gives you a example on what a histogram looks like. The second histogram is on editing software such as adobe Lightroom or adobe photoshop.

A histogram is a measurement of light and dark within the photo. It gives you a different reading on how much light you have in the photograph.

In this screen shot is an example of the second histogram which is in the software i talked about above.
