Histograms

A histogram is a chart showing the distribution of brightness in an image
(horizontal axis: brightness; vertical axis: pixels).
Optimal exposure: There is an ample distribution of pixels overall with a peak
in the middle range.
Underexposed : The number of shadow pixels is high with the distribution
sloping down to the left.
Overexposed : The number of highlight pixels is high with the distribution
sloping down to the right.
!
The shape of the graph will vary depending on the subject.
