Ever wondered what that weird graph on your camera’s LCD means? In this video, Doug Gabbard from Practicing Photography explains how to read and use your camera’s histogram — one of the most powerful tools for getting perfect exposure.

You’ll learn what a histogram is, what it tells you about your photo, and how to recognize crushed blacks, blown highlights, and balanced midtones. Doug demonstrates how histograms shift as lighting changes and shows you why this graph is more reliable than your LCD brightness.

Whether you shoot in manual mode, aperture priority, or auto, understanding histograms will instantly improve your photography. Discover how to read your histogram like a pro, control exposure precisely, and use it creatively to capture more dramatic images.
