As a someone who works with data histograms on a regular basis, I can tell you that your terminology is a little off. When a histogram peaks on the left and has a tail on the right, it is "right skewed", not left skewed as you mention in your article. The "skew" is the same side as the tail. Thanks for the help.

For example, lots of darker tones (big hump on the left, long tail on the right) is skewed right, not skewed left. And vice-versa. Doesn't take away from the post, but just in case readers go elsewhere and see it the other way around.

I've never used histograms before because I didn't know what I was looking for. I've struggled alot because I take what I think are great shots until I see them on the big screen....then I realize they are often overexposed. This is a great new tool to help with this on the spot. Great article. I’ve never used histograms before because I didn’t know what I was looking for.

Now that I have some sense of what it is and what it is there for I will try to pay more attention to this and see if I can improve upon my work. I also invite everyone to drop by www.bklphotos.com and check my shots out so you can see what stage I am operating at. Not a beginner but always room to learn. Thanks.
