Exposure And The Histogram Continued
Setting the exposure to capture images with interesting detail along the moon’s terminator such as the attached requires – in my humble opinion - a compromise between over exposed crater rims that catch the sunlight and the totally black shadows within the lit areas. The histogram for the attached capture shows a series of peaks and valleys, which I assume one would expect, seeing that it is far from a gradual change between the light and dark areas. If the exposure slider is moved to lighten the image all the highlights will become over exposed with the loss of detail. This begs the question: would this picture be greatly improved without loss of detail if the exposure had been set using a histogram?
