Yesterday we brought you an eye-opening tutorial from a professional wildlife photographer who insists that a camera's histogram may not be telling you the truth, and thereby compromising the quality of images you shoot. Unfortunately, there's another harmful camera untruth, as you'll see in today's video from the f/64 Academy YouTube channel.
How often have you changed lenses when shooting in the field or switched subject matter, say from a landscape scene to a macro or wildlife photo? If you're like most photographers you do so frequently, which is why the tutorial below is a real game changer.
Most accomplished photographers pay close attention to their camera's histogram when shooting in the field because this simple graphic can be extremely helpful for balancing all the tones throughout a scene. But one respected pro insists that in certain situations, "the histogram may be lying to you and I'll show you why."
If you're one of those photographers who uses the same metering mode for every photo you shoot you're making a big mistake that we hope to correct with this very helpful guide from C4 Photo Safaris—an instructional site full of helpful tips for shooters of all skill levels.
So you absolutely love landscape photography and you’re motivated to do everything possible to improve your work. One way to do that is by following the ongoing tutorials we post, and another is to be sure you’re using the type of gear that is best suited for the task.
ISO is a very important concept and makes up one side of the Exposure Triangle; the other two being aperture and shutter speed. These three variables interact to arrive at a correct exposure.
