Question 1

If you are using a digital camera, bracket your exposures by:&#10;A)&#188; stop.&#10;B)&#189; stop.&#10;C)1 stop.&#10;D)2 stops.

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

Gray cards are used with meters that measure:&#10;A)Ambient light.&#10;B)Backlight.&#10;C)Reflected light.&#10;D)Side light.

Accepted Answer

Gray cards are used to measure the reflected light from the subject, therefore the correct answer is C.

Question 3

What does &#34;exposure equivalent&#34; mean?&#10;A)A variety of apertures and shutter speeds can be used to lighten or darken photographs.&#10;B)If you change any one of the elements of exposure, your camera will adjust the other two elements accordingly to yield the same exposure.&#10;C)The same exposure values for aperture and shutter speed work in both bright and dark conditions.&#10;D)Aperture and shutter speed work independently of any ISO setting.

Accepted Answer

Exposure equivalent refers to the principle that if you change one element of exposure (aperture, shutter speed, or ISO), your camera will adjust the other two elements accordingly to maintain the same overall exposure. In other words, you can achieve the same exposure with different combinations of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings - as long as you maintain the same overall exposure value. This principle is important for photographers to understand in order to achieve the desired exposure for their photos.

Question 4

According to the Sunny f/16 Rule, use an:&#10;A)ISO of 100, shutter speed of 1/500 second, and f/16.&#10;B)ISO of 100, shutter speed of 1/100 second, and f/100.&#10;C)ISO of 200, shutter speed of 1/200, second and f/20.&#10;D)ISO of 200, shutter speed of 1/200 second, and f/16.

Accepted Answer

The Sunny f/16 Rule states that on a sunny day, ISO value should be equal to shutter speed at f/16. Therefore, ISO of 200, shutter speed of 1/200 second and f/16 would be the correct settings.

Question 5

What does the word &#34;value&#34; refer to when discussing photographic exposures?&#10;A)Amount of color in a photograph.&#10;B)Monetary gain from selling the photograph.&#10;C)Combination of brightness and color in a photograph.&#10;D)Brightness or darkness in grayscale terms.

Accepted Answer

In photography, the term "value" refers to the brightness or darkness of a color or shade in grayscale terms. This is important in determining the exposure and overall tone of the photograph.

Question 6

What is &#34;dynamic range&#34;?&#10;A)The range from darkness to brightness that a film or sensor can record&#10;B)The range from the fastest to the slowest shutter speed your camera can use&#10;C)The range from the widest to the smallest aperture your lens can use&#10;D)The range of grayscale values within any given scene

Accepted Answer

Dynamic range refers to the range from darkness to brightness that a film or sensor can record. It is the ability of a camera or sensor to capture details in both the shadows and highlights of a scene. A camera with a high dynamic range can capture both bright skies and dark foregrounds in the same image without losing details in either.

Question 7

Exposure lock metering allows you to:&#10;A)Get the proper exposure regardless of what object you meter off of.&#10;B)Get the proper exposure by metering off of something lighter or darker than middle gray.&#10;C)Get the proper exposure by metering off of something with middle gray reflectance and then photographing something lighter or darker than middle gray.&#10;D)Lock in one exposure for a variety of images you are making from one geographic location regardless of lighting decisions.

Accepted Answer

Exposure lock metering allows you to meter off of something with middle gray reflectance and then photograph something lighter or darker than middle gray, while maintaining the proper exposure. This is useful when your subject is a different brightness than the area you are metering from, and you need to lock in the exposure.

Question 8

If you're photographing a person's head and shoulders and you want the background to go out of focus, you will get best results by using an aperture of:&#10;A)f/64.&#10;B)f/22.&#10;C)f/16.&#10;D)f/4.

Accepted Answer

A larger aperture (small f-number) gives a shallow depth of field, causing the background to blur and making the subject stand out. f/4 is the best choice for this situation as it will give a good amount of background blur while still keeping the subject in focus. f/22, f/16 and f/64 will not create enough of a blur in the background.

Question 9

The Zone System places middle gray at:&#10;A)Zone III.&#10;B)Zone IV.&#10;C)Zone V.&#10;D)Zone VI.

Accepted Answer

The Zone System is a method of controlling exposure and development in photography, which was developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer. The system divides the entire tonal range into 11 zones, with Zone 0 representing pure black and Zone X representing pure white. Middle gray, which is considered the standard for proper exposure, is placed on Zone V. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Zone V.

Question 10

A camera's internal light meter has the ability to:&#10;A)Assume that you are metering off of something with middle gray reflectance.&#10;B)Give you settings that will render a sunset scene as bright as you see it.&#10;C)Give you settings that will render a photo of a black car at night as dark as you see it.&#10;D)Assume that you are metering the ambient light in a scene.

Accepted Answer

The internal light meter assumes that you are metering off of something with middle gray reflectance, which means it will give you settings that will render the scene as an average brightness. This is known as metering for 18% gray. Option B and C are not always possible or desired, as a sunset scene should be rendered with warm tones and a black car at night may require some level of illumination. Option D is partially correct, but the internal light meter does not only assume ambient light, it also considers other factors such as ISO and aperture settings.

Question 11

If you want to make an exposure of 5 minutes, you should set your camera to:&#10;A)Aperture Priority mode.&#10;B)Shutter Priority mode.&#10;C)Bulb mode.&#10;D)Program mode.
