Actually David, the amount of information recorded at each of the available 256 levels of tone (the data the histogram is showing you) is identical. Where you run into differences is when you add hue. I can’t explain it all in a comment. You need to read http://jims-ramblings.blogspot.com/2010/02/right-idea-wrong-reason.html

[...] As you can see, it’s a completely different image and feel in the original to how it’s ended up, but in reality very little has changed. The histogram is the big tell-tale on what’s been done to the processed image, as is the boost in vibrance and saturation and for more on the histogram and how that affects your photography David duChemin gives a much better explanation than i’d manage, here.

There were a number of requests for a how-to, so I’ll do my best to be helpful. Truth is there isn’t much to tell in terms of technique. I pointed the camera and let it do it’s thing while I worried about not getting trod on by a horse, donkey or yak. In situations like this the meter on my 5D does remarkably well. But remember, HOW I meter is not as relevant as what the histogram looks like. I shoot first, meter later. Sort of. HERE’s an article on that. [...]
