I like his comical sense, especially mocha
the sqeaky marker needs to go other then that very informative.
lol reminds me of an ECG reading..
It's so fun to watch you. Definitelly sub
This is the most confusing video. Not the histogram bits – the fact that I came away from this video wanting to adopt a grown man
Thanks. Subscribed.
This has helped me so much, thanks!
haters gone hate. great video
What a Bufoon
That's a very nicely drawn chart, Aaron.
Thank you, this is helpful info 🙂
U talk too fast. U mentioned the seek too often. Humor is not ur strong suit.
that intro
I really hate the sound of that pen when you drag it on the paper. >< I can't stay listen to it.
shut up man, you talk a lot, time waster!
this actually made me understand aperture more than actual "aperture/shutter" videos and histogram itself. thanks!
Good work
I really think that Aaron was huffing fumes of the pen
your sense of humor is what makes this work. really enjoyed this video.
Very good!
U r acting Girlish
Solid intro 🙂
Cool attitude. U should definitely act in Deadpool part 2. ??? good show..
Aaron I love the way you teach, I thank you for teaching histogram, I never had knowledge regarding histogram even after owning a DSLR for more than 2years…happy about it now… 🙂
you need to come back to this hairstyle haha
too long tutorial, but less effective. I've watched about 5 or 6 tutorials and all of them could give better explanation through vivid diagrams. You should watch a few of them by yourselves if you doubt what I've said. Most of them run about 7 to 8 minutes. This is one of the bests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMGr6ze7kwY
Please enjoy it.
Hi,
Great video, thank you for sharing! I made a Photo Extension Histogram app for Apple Photos for the iPhone and iPad. I hope you like it! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-extension-histogram/id1084416191?mt=8

While a dark subject should produce a histogram biased to the left and a light subject a histogram biased to the right, you should always try to have the histogram centered (at least the part related to the subject). That way you use as much of the available dynamic range of the camera as possible. Of course, this is a small thing to consider. If shooting in low light, keeping ISO low and shutter time short will produce a better photo than having a bit more detail in dark areas that you don't really care about anyways.
…and that's how you lose a viewer in 10 seconds.
Took a 1:30 to began subject. Too slow-move onto other videos.
cool chart!!
A person wearing a dark jacket in the night and have a dark skin….. just hand over the wallet and run for life.
insipid!
Great work like always
I see.. So that's how you use Instagram
Not a good example of how to teach one how to use the histogram. too much waffle.
i HATE that marker
Can't watch the video because of the squeaky marker. It affects me 🙁
He was hardly making any jokes ! ALL PJ's and the explanations were weirdly explained. And whats with " I like Squeaky pen" Are you making video for ur self , then don't publish ! Wasted my time then gave a thumbs down
12:15 hey assistant!! zoom into the fucking histogram!… that's sort of like, ya, the whole point of this video.
