  1. 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… ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. 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.
