Lighting

Light and Shadow- When there is a balance of light as there is dark(shadow) allowing the lighted object to have depth

Tonal Range- The difference between white and black(the contrast)

Three Point Lighting- A commonly known lighting system that consists of three lights:

Key Light- Brightest light source which is typically placed at a 45 degree angle

Fill Light- A lower powered light that is placed 90 degrees away from the key light

Rim Light- The low powered light that is in the rear of the scene

Implied Lighting- The camera shines on the the focus object casting the shadow of it in the scene (makes scene look bigger)

Back Lighting- The main light source is in the back or behind the scene. This uses bounce lighting to create soft diffused shadows. This makes the scene look soft and intimate.

Silhouette Lighting- A very bright light source is in the back of the scene. This makes the main focus appear black as though it is a silhouette.

Non-Key Lighting- Using lighting but there isn't a key light that is used. For this bounce lighting is a main light source. Soft diffused shadows are created.

A histogram is read left to right and a good histogram tends to start with the left(the shadow) being low rising to the top and then going back down further to the right(highlights).
