There is a tremendous amount of info--much of it at a professional level--to be found at http://www.luminous-landscape.com, including a number of articles on exposure. Histograms are just one of the topics covered.Grandaddy said:Here is a primer on interpreting the histogram for those unfamiliar:
http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_histogram.html
A histogram, in this context, is a graphic respresentation showing the number of pixels having brightness numbers from 0 to 255. Each channel is quantified and displayed on a bar graph. A well exposed image should contain shadow, midrange, and highlights. These elements will appear on the left, center, and right side of the histogram, respectively.
Been spending a good bit of time reading stuff from there recently and will probably spend a good bit more...
