This is an awesome write up. The histogram always confounds me and I often ignore it on the camera itself and try to trust my instincts instead. During post processing, however, particularly for RAW photos, the histogram is an essential tool; it's always the first place I go.
I'm hoping you write something up soon about composition!
I will, for sure. I just need to start it from scratch. Literally. Since I am scribbling and scratching again and again in a notebook during each personal lesson. I have to systemize those a bit.
Thanks for stopping by!
