Question 3

What is the goal of any photographic exposure?&#10;A)To give you an image that reflects middle gray.&#10;B)To give you an image that makes your friends smile.&#10;C)To give you the maximum number of pixels your camera's sensor can create.&#10;D)To give you the raw ingredients (detail and pixels) to create the image you want.

Accepted Answer

The goal of any photographic exposure is to give you the raw ingredients (detail and pixels) to create the image you want. This means capturing as much information as possible in the image, which can then be edited or manipulated to achieve the desired final result. Option A may be a consideration in certain situations, such as when using a light meter to determine proper exposure, but is not the overarching goal of exposure. Option B is subjective and not a technical aspect of exposure. Option C is also not the primary goal of exposure, as the number of pixels captured is dependent on factors such as camera settings and resolution.

Question 5

Merge to HDR is a process that:&#10;A)Allows you to burn or dodge specific areas within a single exposure.&#10;B)Makes a series of photos of one scene at different exposure levels and combines them, using the best of each exposure.&#10;C)Breaks an image down into zones.&#10;D)Pulls together a panorama image.

Accepted Answer

Merge to HDR is a process where multiple photos of the same scene, taken at different exposure levels, are combined to create an image with a high dynamic range. This is particularly useful when the scene has a wide range of brightness levels, such as a landscape with both bright sky and dark shadows. The merged image contains the best parts of each exposure, resulting in a final image with more detail and contrast than any single exposure could achieve.

Question 8

When evaluating an image using the Zone System, the darkest zone that still holds good detail in shadows is:&#10;A)Zone I.&#10;B)Zone III.&#10;C)Zone VIII.&#10;D)Zone X.

Accepted Answer

According to the Zone System, Zone III is the darkest zone that should still retain good detail in the shadows. This is because Zone 0 (pure black) has no detail, and Zones I and II are reserved for the deepest shadows with little to no detail. Zones IV-VI are midtones, while Zones VII-IX are highlights, and Zone X (pure white) has no detail. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
