When reviewing your histogram there is a simple trick to knowing if you’ve captured a lot of contrast or if the picture will have low contrast. Basically, if all the tones are bunched up in one place in the photo, the photo will have a low amount of contrast. If the tones are more evenly spread across the histogram, the image is most likely high in contrast.
