You always talk us through everything over and over, For me this is fantastic, most youtubers just run through info very quickly. You go into deep Information and talk through from start to finish inc all settings. Total respect to you Dave

Every photographer must see and understand this. I am have been struggling with ETTR for bird photography... this video does help. Thank you so much.

This is by far the best explanation of the histogram and RAW that I have seen my past years of digital photography. Everyone else will breeze over this. Thank you!

[SandraBassin]

This deserves to be shown all over the world! It feels like National Geographic-worthy material. Magnificent scenery and clear teaching. Thanks so much!

[bobmcdonald]

I agree with @hangs4fun, awesome new intro. Very inspiring! I'm blown away dabbling with some of my photos that I thought were overexposed but using that technique I think my understanding has really grown. As always, appreciate what you do man!

[douglasritchie]

Great stuff Dave, more informative than a 200-page book and perfect information for Landscape photography, you really are living the dream.

I have gained a lot of knowledge about photography from your channel and website, like back button focus technique which I am still getting used to. I am just wondering why not so many people subscribe this fantastic channel, in contrast, channels full of sense of commerce and sponsorship seem always popular.

Excellent video. You are a great teacher. You really drive the point home in a way that is easy to understand, follow and relate to. Looking forward to trying this out and seeing if I can improve my images.

Thanks Dave for your indepth analysis. I would like you to make one video. I don't know whether this video is already present but if you can make one video about how to spot composition that will be great.

[williamturner]

Dave great information. Really appreciate your wisdom in landscape exposure.

[patrickguilfoyle]

Great instructional video on ETTR.

Another thing to keep in mind, when viewing a histogram.

First visualize the histogram divided into quarters; the far right quarter contain 50% of light data, next quarter contains 25%, next-12.5%.

This is why ETTR works.

[williambassin]

This was a delightful tour of the rainforest and how to get the most out of it from your photography. Keep the scenes coming...

[dennispenton]

ETTR - what a great issue to focus upon. Very insightful to highlite the difference between what you see in the LCD & what's in the RAW image. Many times I have limited my EV adjusting because of what the LCD is telling me where I should have pushed the EV to capture more detail in the darks. Your Videos are Insightful. Thanks.

[MatthewSaville]

I've been telling people for years now, they should spend less time on the internet fighting about which camera has 1/10 of a stop better dynamic range, and spend more time out in the field doing THIS, actually getting to know their camera's histogram and how it translates from the back of the camera to post-production, so that they know exactly what they can get away with in the field, and nail their real-world exposures to within 1/3 or 1/2 a stop of "perfect" for any scene.

So glad you made this video to help explain the process and the reason behind it!
