Photography Tutorial - Perfect Exposures, The Histogram Pt 1

[KanaPolak]

Sorry, I can't focus with the music. I'm sure its a nice vid, but repost without music please.

[MissChevybelle]

whats up with the annoying music??!! Cant watch this tutorial. sorry.

[TheSchlampampe]

turn it down

[Toca91]

Guys, if you don't want the music, and you are into sound editing, just mute the right speaker/s. Music is on the right.

[dadvian1]

great vintage music maybe you can mute your voice off so i can dance.....ooooh sorry is this a photography tutorial? my bad

[TheBaconroll]

Your heading states "Perfect exposures, The Histogram". Sorry but what has the histogram have to do with perfect exposures. Exposures are controlled by the shutter and diaphragm in the camera. What you are indicating is digital manipulation. This is the same as printing negatives where 'burning and dodging' used to happen in the darkroom. The histogram has nothing to do with exposure.

[ajiacox]

Hey cant hear what you are explaining, bad decision with that music. Could you remade the video?

[energynlove]

I like the music, and the tutorial too :)

[streetecology]

Great - very easy to understand. The music is awful, but not to the point where I can't understand what you're saying. Thanks! Off to Part II

[cassmlik]

sorry but the music makes it really hard to concentrate on what you are saying!

[chittlenyc]

Fantastic video - thanks so much! Keep the music, it does help keep videos more entertaining just drop it down a few dB so it doesn't compete with your voice. :-)

[Sloany81]

Cheers, don't think that could have been explained any easier !!!

[antione101]

By far the best core explanation of of a camera's histogram I have come across to date. Just from this video I finally understand how to read an RGB histogram as well. It pulled everything together for me. Thanks

[origamisensei]

I love the music! But I certainly feel that it dominates the audio. If I just listen to the left earbud, your voice is loud enough, but in the right ear all I hear is music - no voice. I think you made a good choice to include it, it just recorded funny. It would be fine at a lower volume and with your voice audible in both ears. Fantastic introduction! I would like to incorporate something similar into a photography lesson for children. You inspired me!

[burinbabe]

Might be a nice tutorial but the music is too overpowering.....couldn't watch it.....

[BeccyWall]

thanks for an amazing video!

[nocusr]

Tried listening, but the music was too distracting. Will try to disable the music, which is predominately on the right channel. Unfortunate, because this seems to be an excellent tutorial, but it's difficult to concentrate with the music. Sorry.

Cont 1

Also missing is several caveats warning there is no such thing as a perfect histogram or that you should be striving to create one. It all depends on subject matter, lighting, etc.. Also missing is the fact many cameras don't offer a histogram or if they do it is AFTER taking the shot, which renders them next to useless aside from seeing what you done wrong.

[willieofroanoke]

The point is it IS very distracting to have music playing while somebody is attempting to teach something. Especially true if the music is too loud and not your style.The "tutorial" is long winded and actually teachs little. What he took 6 minutes to do I could have done in one minute. Worse, you're left to hunt for part 2. What's missing is HOW to fix over/under exposers, and what happens in Photoshop when you adjust the histogram.

[fiveonefiveoh]

This is the BEST explanation of the histogram, especially because you explain the y-axis of the graph! Others just explain the x-axis!

[MrYoda1972]

thank you for making this video. it's very informative. it's unfortunate some people just can't appreciate good things and only see what's they see as bad, always have something to complain. and they are not paying viewers. :-)

[pedramm1978]

Turn the stupid music off , couldn't understand a single word,,,,,

[i4everHappy]

Thank you! Like your detail and step by step explaination. I now have a better understand of histogram.

[meltdownman1]

My Canon 5D Mark II has the ability to show the Red Green and Blue (RGB) histograms. It also has the ability to adjust/tint these colors in addition to Magenta which of course does not have a histogram. Not being an artist, could you give some pointers on how the Magenta tint adjustment plays into the color schemes e.g. adding more Magenta tint add allow you to mix the RGB colors and come up with say more "yellows" in your picture?

I can't seem to find any info on this,

The Meltdownman

[pupupuchi28]

Sorry to ask you this dumb question. What happens when the pic is a colored one. Does that mean dark colors will get stacked towards the black side of the graph? I'm new to photography.

[funnyhaha07]

Thank you for making the tutorial, even though I understand histograms, I still learned something. I didn't realize there were 256 shades on the histogram between complete black and complete white. Also I didn't realize each line were pixels stacked on top of each other. Thank you for making the tutorial. Just wanted to leave a positive reply to show appreciation, it takes time to make a tutorial.

[ejsiej]

I don't know why people are complaining about music, it's just fine. I mean, I didn't give too much attention to it, I was looking at video and listening what you were speaking.

Thanks for histogram explanation, you did it well. ;)

[mawsko]

extremely useful but that music is shit

[tazmarky]

I got to 1:49 and stopped bcoz of annoying music.....promise never to visit ur website....peace =-)

[HighSierraBob]

Very good illustration and explanation!! Maybe you can keep the music, but too loud is a distraction... IMHO.

[Blizzard56k]

I love how the music has Subliminal messages in it. saying something like " Shockwavecom "

Really? ....Sad

[house2kill]

I like the music. Thnx btw, I now understand how histograms really work.

[TitanAndMax]

Good video I'm sure, but I could only watch for 1 minute due to annoying music. Thanks anyway!

[crowinarow]

Good explanation. I didn't know that. Thank you!



[massarde9591]

man i really like your video coz my english is not good i didnt give atention for the music but what you took about.

great video.

doesnt matter what u do always someone ll come here to complain .

just tks alooooooooooooooooot

[BKSinAZ]

how do you shoot to where the histogram reads all good?

[jonfullofgrace]

a histogram contains exactly all the pixels of an image ordered in vertical bars, from complete black to complete withe.

[healthpimp]

I guess what people are trying to say is this, The information is good, however the background music is a bit too overpowering and makes it hard to pay attention to what you are saying. Imagine going to a classroom where the teacher is trying to teach you however the PA system is playing a song that is just a touch quieter than the teachers voice. Dont be Pissed. People are telling you the truth. Yes free, however it would of been a simple fix to fade out the music after the intro.

[flocked]

Too bad the music ruins this.

[CDPhotoOnline]

This is great!... very helpful!

[osusana]

Thanks so much, very helpful and easy to understand. The music volume is a bit loud.

[regalo1979]

i think the music is nice but it's just too loud on this video. bless your heart for making this video.

i wish i could photography better. i need to watch more of your vids though...gathering infos from pros:D

[snowboarderrx]

omg that music is horrible

[mula165]

Very good explanation, thank you. It's very clear. It's clearer than reading a book.

[Mirolassa]

If you don't like the music, bail. It's a FREE video so you get what you pay for. If you can suffer through the video, you'll learn something. If you can't be bothered, please don't complain to me.

[jakebe2]

sharp reply.... apparently you need to learn to make videos

[vvviiisss]

@Mirolassa NEVER-MIND the complains thanks for a great tutorial.5* all the way

[AntiIgnorantDimwit]

@Mirolassa Princess.

[hcoll]

Man. I know I'm not the first or the 10th to say this but the music reaaaaaaaaally kills this. Seriously, making it louder than his voice?

[Sallybunckle]

Bailed because of the music

[smashcars]

Kill that music.

[olumartins]

Nice video

Music very distracting though

[tvaholic169]

The music was way too intrusive; killed it for me, had to bail, sorry.

[ebbixx]

While I stuck it out for the content, it was actually the muted speech/vocals that were part of the track that I found distracting and detracting from the narration. Much, much lower mix, or even different music appropriate to the content would be an improvement in the future.

[Lenart223]

Great video :)

[oscillatorion]

I think you made a small misstake:

When you were talking about the White in your image, and blown highlights, you draw the corresponding bar to maximum right, but low.

Blown highlights, or anything where there's too much of, will reach OUTSIDE the scale (vertical).

[baddam95]

thanks all revised for school now

[dzRk07]

The music is soo loud.. and the voice is pan'd at the left : [ it hurts my ear..

[pacorocha]

Great demonstration

[axelriet]

Music is *waaaaay* too loud! Great video, besides that, thanks

[scunningham71]

Agreed - the music sounds like it was possibly a mistake?

[Supiripanto]

Thanks. Very simple and graphic explanation.

In resume, histogram is an inventory of each of the 256 tones within the picture.

[Mpathize]

dear god yes, kill the sounds dude....

total shame cause the tut looks as tho' it could be cool..i love the bluuus dude..but a time n place dude..

[chrissyposs]

please please, re-do but without the music, your discription is really good but that music is so distracting.

[1fishbiscuit]

really helpful but the music really detracts from it

[ibookster]

Please reupload with no music - 20 sec and I left the video

[galileo021728]

yes plz

[incub8]

yes please - kill the music - can't concentrate on the important information being given - much appreciated

[TheAquatician]

This is the most accurate and simple explanation of historgam in my opinion. I also agree that the music being loud on the right channel and him not as loud on the left channel not helping. :)

[TravelnDude]

I tried to watch this. I need to watch this but the music is just too much of a distraction.

[bidrohi]

video was very informative but the music was too loud and annoying

[baymagic]

Thank you so much my friend that's very helpful vid. we need all your experience. peace

[gorcastican]

great vid man...I BOW to U! :D

[woonkie]

lol!! why is the music so loud?

[exoticaguy69]

I'm sure that your knowledge on histogramas would have been very helpful but the back ground music is just too LOUD.

[erosaffinity115]

Your music is too damn loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChanseyOllie]

Great!

[Mirolassa]

Sorry about the music! The people have spoken so I've taken it out from all future videos. I figured that I needed to spice things up - hence the music.

[venuecam]

Ignore the insesitive comments.

All you need is a great tut (which you seem to have done). Music for intro/outro/non-commentary would be more effective. Good luck with future videos.

[lucygoozy12]

This is the first time I understood the concept of hystograms with a very simple explanation, and without the need of tutorials.

I agree, music is very distracting.

[farfromSOBER55]

Helpful, but the music is way to loud and distracting.

[norman444555555]

Love the information..The background music is so distracting
