In this relatively short but fact filled book you will learn how histograms are created and their significance to photography.Though they did not exist in the days of film photography, they are closely related to the Exposure Zones System created by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer around 1939.Can you identify with any of these experiences?Do your eyes glaze over when people talk about histograms? Do you feel that histograms are too technical for you?Are you enthused about photography but confused by all the technical jargon?Do you wonder how professional photographers get such great images?Are you tired of well-intentioned friends giving you bad advice about photography?If you answered yes to any of these questions, end the frustration.

This is a pretty serious book. It's well written and easy enough to read but the author goes into great detail on this subject. Prior to reading this book I never reaized how much there was to know about using histograms to improve your photography..Overall I would say that this is one of the most useful books I've read on any sort of photography technique. I am already looking at two more of his books.
