Original histogram:

You can see it's only filling the left 3/4 of the range, with no really bright points in the image, which is fine if you wanted the image to be low-key, but I don't think you do.

Adjusted histogram - full range.

And the adjusted image:

I haven't done any colour correct to that at all.

I'm thinking I should invest in a separate monitor because I find it really hard to judge the brightness and colour on my laptop screen. I can see the difference that makes there using the histograms. More practice is needed.

Re: Friday Photography Blog No. 27 (none / 0)

For better or worse I'm in the habit of looking at the histogram on my camera after almost every shot and changing the exposure comp as desired. It's a fast process on my D40X. I'll likely keep that habit until I'm good at eyeballing the preview photo.

you are the media you consume.
