The histogram in photography explained in an easy way.
I had the honor of guest-blogging at www.ThePhotoArgus.com. I was writing a brief article about the histogram from shooting to image editing in the digital darkroom and explained the advantages of using 12 bit files. I am explaining there the "tonal distribution" and the correct interpretation of a histogram, details about the data depth of a photograph (12bit RAW vs. 8 bit JPG) and how it pays for a photographer to pay attention to little details happening in that graph. If you are interested in this type of techinical level, read the article "Histogram and the Advantage of High Bit Files" here.
