Photography Histograms
Is histogram used when taking flash photography?
When you are going to use your flash does the histogram offer any help? I can see how it does in non flash photography situations but it’s not clear to me its effectiveness with flash. Sorry, novice digital photographer
Histograms are very difficult to use under any conditions.
It is much more useful when you are processing images using a program like Photoshop or Lightroom
To see how crazy a histogram can get, shoot one high key and one low key photo and see if you can get any really good information you can use during your shoot. Probably not.
If the image looks good on your LCD (with it set to zero gain), the image file will 999 times out of 1000 shots will be perfectly fine.
