    Simple, easy to understand. Thank you Mike.

  2. Excellent tutorial on histograms! Now, instead of relying on a dimly-lit
    LCD screen or a flashing indicator in my EVF… I can check out my
    histogram in the camera image information and know if I have a good
    ‘normal’ exposure. This will help in setting up my “middle” exposure for
    bracketed exposures, too!

    Hey mike. Would love to see some landscape tutorials. You are great at
    conveying things. You are a magnificent teacher. You rock. Thanks.

    Thank you Mike, you are a good teacher, you made me understand how
    important histogram is in photography.

  6. I went to Disney Paris, it was very bright, and most of my pictures were
    coming up dark in the lcd screen, so as I am very new to photography I up’d
    the exposure …… the result was ALOT of over exposed photo’s luckily for
    me Lightroom 5 is awesome for ‘saving’ over exposed pictures. But now
    after your video im going to start reading the historgram and hopefully get
    it right on location 🙂 I love your picture of Big Ben, if you ever
    do a workshop or a walk in London I’d love to join you on it!!

  13. Nice job – seems like my best friend explaining things to me at a nice
    friendly, informative pace. You are a natural teacher. Should I feel
    guilty for watching all of these free instructional videos of yours?

    Great information! I’ll keep this in mind.

  15. you should do the tutorial of
    testing SD cards speeds to your camera
    which SD would be the best suit for picture and movies

  16. Thank you

    For anyone curious, In Photoshop you open ‘Levels’ by going to Images
    >Adjustments >Levels or by pressing Crtl+L and play around with the
    histogram. I like your keyboard mike 🙂

  18. Thank you – you too

    for use with Avid video editing software. – Mike
