A histogram is a graph showing the spread of tones in a photograph. The darkest tones are on the left of the graph, with the brightest on the right. In this article I hope to explain what it is and how to read a histogram. There are 256 points along the width of the histogram. They start at black numbered 0 at the left edge and continue to point f white at the right.
Comics and cartoons have traditionally been produced by drawing them, rather than using photographs to make them.

Photograph fruit, any fruit you like. There’s many different kinds of fruit. Actually doing a quick google search shows up about 2,000 various types. Most of them only grow in certain parts of the Earth. I suppose most of us are only familiar with, or ever encounter, a small portion of them.

Why not photograph your city. That’s either the city you were born in, grew up in, or the one you live in now. You don’t need to wait to go to another town, to take photographs. Your city is as good as any other to take photographs of. I bet there’s thousands of people who visit where you live and find plenty to shoot there. Walk about with your camera and try to discover what visitors find and make images of. You walk past great subjects everyday, and they’re so familiar that you don’t notice them.
If you’re serious about photography and have a camera system, you probably do. In order to be a photographer, all you need is a camera. That’s all you need to take photographs. If you have a Point and Shoot Camera, a Bridge Camera, or a Camera Phone, you can take photos. They will require a charged battery and a memory card. These can be regarded as part of the camera. Now they’re that essential.
