A good article on histograms. Everyone should be "chimping" and checking their histogram after every image! Set up your camera to display the histogram (color and brightness) after every image capture. Lisa
How to Interpret/Understand and Use Histograms Effectively
"Histograms display a graphic representation of the exposure on a captured image. They provide highly accurate information, but their use is often misunderstood, or, worse yet, ignored."
"A "good" histogram doesn't have to stretch entirely from the left to right side to indicate proper overall exposure."
"Histograms – brightness only, or color information as well
Conventional histograms measure only brightness, as recorded (or about to be recorded) in an image file. But, it's possible to view histograms that not only show overall brightness, but the brightness of each color channel. Canon EOS cameras offer the choice to display a brightness histogram or a color (RGB) histogram."
