    Expose right
    All these pics are about the expose right or expose to the right.
    I have been reading and experimemting about this.
    I thing the 3.ed pic is the best.
    More linear histogram.
    The pic has not been photoshoped. Just translated into jpg quick and simple.
    With it one is supposed to cook a blend and come to good results. Am I right ?
    Comments please.... I want 20 of them rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    Antonio -

    Exposing to the right is not about getting a good exposure out of the camera ... but about getting a good exposure for post processing. On the histogram the far left is black and the far right is white. It is easier for photoshop to create an acceptable photograph by darkening than lightening ... so if all the photo's data/information is on the right, Photo Shop has a lot of room for adjustments until the details fall into detailess black (the far left of the histogram).

    But if the histogram is on the left to begin with ... Photo Shop can only take it so far to the right ... because a dark image has very little data/information.

    So, by shooting to the right you are capturing the most data/information possible and giving yourself the greatest amount of latitude for post processing.

    I tried to keep the explaination simple ... I hope it is clear.

    You can see my snapshots at:

    Take Care,
    Gary

    Remember that the extreme right is as bad as the extreme left ... detailess white is as bad as detailess black.

    hahahahahahahahaha ... and with digital photography, just like politics, stick to the center. (If you use a gray card, your histogram will be centered line.)

    Actually I understood that there is more information at the lighter end than the shadow end of the histogram and so an exposure to the right-of-centre - assuming no highlight clipping of course - is likely to give the best image to process.
