[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 96572, member: 9521"] Because a histogram is essentially a logarithmic graph of the data, there is a great deal more information to the right of center than the left. So it's always best to push the bulk of your histogram slightly to the right of center. You will end up with a lot more data to work with. That said, your histograms indicate you've under exposed your image by a couple of stops at least. Bracketing your shots is one way to avoid this but IMO it's easier to just check your histogram data in real time and adjust as needed. [/QUOTE]
