What type of line conveys a sense of height or strength? A. Horizontal B. Vertical C. Diagonal D. Spiral
B. Vertical
What does aperture control in a photograph?
Depth of field
True/False Photography has been around for thousands of years.
True
Aperture, ISO, and Shutter Speed are components of what?
The Exposure Triangle - you change all of these to impact the exposure.
What will happen if you press half way on the shutter button?
It will focus the camera on something while you're in autofocus mode.
What cheat camera mode is ideal for close-up photography that can highlight textures in objects such as flowers and insects?
Macro(flower symbol)
If you use a wide aperture opening (low f/Stop), what kind of depth of field will you have?Deep, Shallow,Medium, or no depth of field
Shallow depth of field
In low light conditions, you should increase the ISO .
True! Higher ISO numbers make your image lighter.
In low-light situations, what might you do to get a better exposure?
A.Open the aperture (smaller F-stop #)
B. Increase the aspect Ratio
C. Increase the shutter speed
D.Decrease the ISO
A. Open the aperture (have a smaller F-stop number)
True/False The higher the number in shutter priority mode, the slower your shutter speed will be.
False
How can space be used to create a sense of depth in a photograph?
A. By increasing brightness and contrast
B. By overlapping shapes and using a foreground/middle ground/background
C. By using cool colors to recede the subject
D. By balancing positive and negative space evenly
B. By overlapping shapes and using a foreground/middle ground/background
What is the relationship between f-stop numbers and aperture size?
Larger F-stop # means what? Smaller F-stop # means what?
Larger number means smaller opening; smaller number means wider
Bonus: Why does this happen?
This refers to the arrangement and relationship of the different parts that make up the whole image.
What is COMPOSITION?
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.
C. They control light, motion, and sensitivity to light.
The slower the shutter speed the more motion will ___________ in your image.
blur
Principles
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?
Faster shutter speeds will ____ motion in your image.
Freeze
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?
What can affect an image's sharpness? Several correct answers.
SS, DoField, Camera Shake, Lens quality
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?
What cheat camera mode will focus on as much of the scene as possible by using a deep depth of field?
landscape
True/false: Asymmetrical balance is when the composition is the same on both sides.
False
This refers to how much of the scene is in focus, both in front of and behind the subject or at whatever point the lens is focused.
Depth of Field
The first cameras invented were called _____________________. They allowed light in using a pinhole and projecting the image upside down and backward.
Camera Obscuras
The part of a camera that gathers and focuses light from an image is the ____________
Lens
When using the Rule of Thirds, the composition is more pleasing when the horizon line is:
Upper or lower 3rd (NOT directly through the middle)
Line, Shape and Form, Space, Color, and Texture are what?
Elements of art
What depth of field shows EVERYTHING in focus?
DEEP
True or False: You can adjust a camera's 'white balance' to cope with different lighting conditions (sunny, cloudy, dim indoor lighting, etc).
True
The _____________ is a curtain inside the camera that opens and closes to admit light into the camera.
Shutter
You demonstrate this when taking a photograph high above the subject.
Bird's Eye View
What are leading lines used for in photography?
To guide the viewers sight in an image
The higher the F-Stop, the _________________________.
Smaller the lens opening/ the less light
You are your own subject in this type of photography.
Self-portait
Which priority mode allows the photographer to select the shutter speed, while the camera determines what the aperture should be?
Shutter Priority
What is the amount of light that reaches the image sensor known as?
The exposure
Name three types of lines found in photography.
Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal
Curved, zigzag, implied, spiral, converging
A __________ depth of field is when only a small part of the image is in focus like a person's face in a portrait.
Shallow
What kind of portrait is one that is taken without the person knowing or without them posing deliberately for the picture.
Candid
This has to do with how light and dark your photo will be. Use a low number like 100 on bright and sunny days (or for long exposure shots). With less light available use a higher number like 800.
ISO
If it is very dark, but you want to freeze motion and use a fast shutter speed, how can you keep your image from being too dark (underexposed)?
Add another light source to the subject (flash or spotlight); Increase the ISO to brighten the image; Pick a large aperture opening (small f-stop number)
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 aperture?
The size of the iris (or hole in the camera) which controls the amount of light entering the camera
What does DSLR stand for in photography?
Digital Single Lens Reflex
Increasing this is helpful for dark settings, but a higher ___________ will also lead to having a higher amount of visible ‘noise’ in a photo.
ISO
How do you focus in manual mode?
Twist the ring around the lens to the right or the left
