This week we got a little bit technical and took on reading histograms. At first, some of you were a bit hesitant with the challenge. But as the week went on your embraced and it really showed in your pictures!
Without further ado, the best of the week!

Thanks for choosing one of my photos this week. It seems to me that using your light meter and histogram kind of work hand in hand. The difference, to me anyway, is that histograms are post photo taking. They both show dark and light areas and enable you to choose what you like best for an optimal shot. And not necessarily what ‘auto’ thinks is best, in fact in most cases ‘auto’ is far from the best! My in camera review also flashes areas that are blown out, which goes hand in hand with the histogram being shown, that is way too far one way. Thanks for all the great tutorials.
