Questions

a.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your high key image fall (left or right on the histogram)

- Right Side of the histogram

b.     Are there any pixels in the high key image that would not print with detail?

- No because there is no clipping in the image.

c.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your low-key image fall (left or right on the histogram)

- Mostly to the left of the histogram.

d.     Are there any pixels in the low-key image that would not print with detail?

- Yes there is clipping in the dark tones of the picture, so the black background closest to the edges of the frame that would lose detail in the shot. 

e.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your varied tones image fall (left or right on the histogram)

- There is a lot of dynamic range in this shot and as a result is spread over the histogram relatively evenly. 

f.      Are there any pixels in the varied tones image that would not print with detail?

- No, all the tones captured in the image fall within the histogram without any clipping. 

g.     Considering the information on the histogram, do you feel your camera is properly exposing the high key and low-key scenes? Explain your answer

- I feel like is struggles when capturing dark tones. My camera could expose for the cup but had trouble getting out all the details in the dark area. I think if it only had to expose for dark tones it would have done better but the fact that the subject and the dark background are so different, my camera struggled when trying to expose them both accurately. 

h.     Which histogram shows the most dynamic range?

- My shot with the varied toned background had the most dynamic range.
