Balancing your exposure in the field is key if you want to have the most data to work with in post-processing, and that all starts with choosing the right shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. One of the most powerful tools for choosing those settings is your camera’s histogram, which provides valuable information about the brightness of each pixel in your image.
Using the histogram in the field ensures perfect exposures that retain shadow detail without blowing out the highlights.
