Thank you for this great explanation of the histogram. You present the concepts in a way that are easy to understand. Your videos are high quality in content, delivery, and illustrations. Thanks!

Excellent! Clear, concise. AND, most importantly, you actually show the image with histogram as you’re explaining! Nice job!

Thank you!! So clear, concise, helpful, and articulate. I've needed to understand histogram and zebra for a good while. You delivered exactly what I needed...in 4 minutes. Your explanation is excellent!

The best informative photography channel on youtube. Best, and presented in a nutshell with full detail. No chitchat, no nothing, straight-to-the-point. Other people out there would be churning out a 24mins video with less information than this 4min video.

This and another video have gave me such a greater understanding of correct exposure in my shots in the last 15 mins on YT. Thank you.

Im new to the camera and have struggled to understand why my portraits look great on the lcd but different once uploaded lol

Your explanations are so detail and easy to understand! I'm a beginner and still don't know all of the functions on the camera. It'll be great if you can start a series explaining things for beginner!

Thank you for the detailed explanation - it confirms many things I thought I knew and fills in missing information I did not have.
