What is the relationship between f-stop numbers and aperture size?
Larger F-stop # means what?
Smaller F-stop # means what?
Why do you make a contact print?
Bonus: Why does this happen?
The arrangement of objects within a frame of a photograph.

How do aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to achieve correct exposure?
A. They adjust color, sharpness, and contrast.
B. They control light, detail, and color balance.
C. They control light, motion, and sensitivity to light.
D. They adjust brightness, focus, and sharpness.

What is a compositional strategy used in photography that involves dividing your screen with imaginary lines to make 9 boxes?
Rule of 3rds!
What is the difference between positive and negative space in photography?
Positive space contains the subject; negative space is the area around it.
Why might a photographer choose a wide aperture (low F-stop) for a portrait?
To blur the background and isolate the subject
What is a darkened room or box with a small opening that projects an image of the outside world onto a surface
Camera Obscura
If there is little light and you want a fast shutter speed to freeze motion, what size aperture should you have?
Large Aperture opening
Bonus: What is an example of an f-stop with a large aperture?
How can zigzag lines affect the mood of a photograph?
A. They add stability and calm.
B. They create energy and sharpness.
C. They emphasize height and depth.
D. They soften the image’s focus.
B. They create energy and sharpness.
Texture is an element used in photography. What are the other 4 common elements used?
Line, Color, Shape, Contrast, Space, Emphasis
Bonus: What are the two main principles we learned about in photography?
How does a narrow aperture (e.g., f22) affect depth of field and light?
Deep depth of field, less light enters
Bonus: what can help you remember that a smaller aperture opening will put more objects in focus throughout your image?
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO
Bonus: With a large aperture, your shutter speed will increase. Why?
If it is a bright, sunny day out and you take a photo of a bumble bee with a low f-stop number and a slow shutter speed, what will probably happen to your image?
It will be overexposed.
Bonus: Why?
How might a spiral line be used creatively in photography?
To lead the eye toward a focal point or create motion
