A histogram is a tool a large amount of cameras offer to help you get a quick summary of the tonal range in any image you take. It gives you more information about an image and helps you get the effect that you want. Having your camera set to show you histograms during the view process will tell you how your image is exposed.
2. What happens to the visual when a histogram is skewed to the left? Right?
When a histogram is skewed to the left there are dark pixels that create a blackish tone. When it is skewed to the right, the tones become lighter and create a whiter tone.
3. In most cases, what does a “good” histogram look like?
When the light and dark tones are evenly distributed in the middle, it is considered a "good" histogram.
a. Describe your answer in words
When it is equally distributed, it means there's an equal amount of light tones and dark tones. When you look at the levels, it is in the middle and not just on the left side or on the right side.
b. Provide a visual
4. Why is a histogram a good tool for photographers?
A histogram is a good tool for photographers because it will let you fix any exposure mistakes. You will get an even distribution of light and dark tones that makes the image look the best it can.
