The following letter was in response to a request I received from a Middle School Student in North Carolina named Brooke. Brooke found my photography website and asked if she could do a research paper on me as a photographer. I ended up sharing with her a synopsis of my life story. Later I was rewarded by an email from her teacher saying Brooke's project was wonderful. She earned a 95 on her research paper, and a 100 on her oral presentation. Her teacher went on to say, "I was so very proud of her. I can not thank you enough... You are a remarkable woman and you touched her more than you will know..." AJ
A histogram is a graph that represents the distribution of the brightness information in a photo. The left side represents shadows. The right side represents highlights. If either side has spikes that means clipping has occurred. Clipping means loss of detail. Clipping of the shadows means 100% black, and clipping of the highlights means 100% white.
