The histogram tells you immediately whether your light meter reading was accurate for the picture you are shooting or not. Then it tells you how to correct that meter reading for a more appropriately exposed picture in the next shot. Why would you want to deal with a 'blown out' picture in PP if you could shoot a perfectly 'exposed to the right' picture in the camera on the next shot? You use both alternately and adjust as necessary.

Well, not really. It's all about respect, and if there was one thing that was drilled into we "70" year olds it was respect. Not only respect for each other, but respect for authority, our country, our flag, our neighbor, our property. And when we "70 year old children," as you put it, feels disrespect to ourselves, or any of those other things that we feel deserve our respect, we will get our noses out of joint. Simply stated, condescension to others shows an air of superiority, and is a total lack of respect. Sadly today, the concept of respect seems to be mostly a thing of the past...all you have to do is turn on your news, and you will see this lack of respect played out every day.

I use the histogram on maybe-deleted shots. You can always take another unless it is one of those one time seen subjects. I ,for one, do not disparage chimping.

Use a handheld incident meter for your exposure .... Check the histogram and adjust accordingly. Make 3 ... Over and under and you've got all possibilities covered. This could be the big benefit in digital cause your not wasting film just space on your gizmo. Histo left 2 right, histo right 2 left, histo middle 1 over, 1 under, forget about it! Got it covered with an HD to fiddle with.

A digital camera can be set to take the three exposures with one press of the shutter button, if I'm not mistaken.

Yep. Some do up to seven, at 1/3, or 2/3, or a full stop intervals.

Exactly. I've got a kinda old school attitude about shooting pix. I always use a tripod and incident meter. Always felt the incident helped to nail the average exposure and the bracketing covered tonal range. That's a nice feature on the digital and the histogram gives a graphic of your exposure so you can feel fairly confident that you've nailed it. Kind of an abbreviated zone system approach without having to think about zones and development. You've got all the info and just use it as you will PP. Even snap shooting hand held the bracketing feature is an advantage. May not be able to layer them but still covers the bases exposure wise.
