Photography: BASICS

By Aneesh M Das

Multiple Choice

What does "SLR Camera" stand for?

• Simple Lens Revolving Camera

• Simple Lens Rotating Camera

• Single Lens Rotating Camera

• Single Lens Reflex Camera

Multiple Choice

What does the term photography mean?

• Machine to capture scene

• Painting with light

• Film and Lens

• Equipment for graphics

Multiple Choice

What are the three elements of the Exposure Triangle?

• ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed

• ISO, Focal Length and Shutterspeed

• Shutter speed, Sensor and Aperture

• Lens, Aperture and Sensor

Multiple Choice

What is aperture?

• Lens focal length

• Lens Opening

• Lens hood

• Shutter placed before the sensor

Multiple Choice

What does shutter speed refer to?

• Speed at which the light passes through the lens

• Speed of the light entering the sensor

• Amount of light entering the lens

• Time that sensor is exposed to light

Multiple Choice

What does ISO stand for?

• The focal length of the lens

• Camera's sensitivity to light

• Aspect ratio of the sensor

• Speed of the shutter

​

​

Multiple Choice

How does focal length influence a photograph?

• How much of the scene will be captured

• Size of the lens

• How far the camera can focus

• The size of the sensor in relationship to the lens

Multiple Choice

What is the relationship between aperture and depth of field?

• Inverse relationship: Smaller aperture (larger f-number) = larger depth of field, Larger aperture (smaller f-number) = shallower depth of field

• No relationship between aperture and depth of field

• Direct relationship: Smaller aperture (larger f-number) = shallower depth of field, Larger aperture (smaller f-number) = larger depth of field

• Aperture only affects exposure, not depth of field

Multiple Choice

How does focal length affect depth of field?

• Focal length affects depth of field by changing the color saturation

• Focal length affects depth of field by changing the angle of view and magnification of the image.

• Focal length affects depth of field by altering the shutter speed

• Focal length affects depth of field by modifying the ISO setting

Multiple Choice

Explain the bokeh effect in photography.

• Bokeh is a type of camera lens

• Bokeh effect is only visible in black and white photography

• The bokeh effect in photography is the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in an image achieved by using a shallow depth of field.

• The bokeh effect is achieved by using a wide depth of field

Multiple Choice

What happens to the depth of field when the aperture is wide open?

• The depth of field remains the same.

• The depth of field becomes deeper.

• The depth of field disappears completely.

• The depth of field becomes shallower.

Multiple Choice

How does increasing the focal length impact the depth of field?

• Increasing the focal length has no impact on the depth of field.

• Increasing the focal length increases the depth of field.

• Increasing the focal length changes the color temperature of the image.

• Increasing the focal length decreases the depth of field.

Multiple Choice

Describe the characteristics of bokeh in a photograph.

• Bokeh in a photograph is the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas, characterized by soft, blurred backgrounds.

• Bokeh is the technique of capturing motion blur in a photograph.

• Bokeh is the presence of vibrant colors in a photograph.

• Bokeh is the sharp focus of the main subject in a photograph.

Multiple Choice

Why is hyperfocal distance important in landscape photography?

• To maximize depth of field and ensure sharpness in both foreground and background.

• To increase the contrast in the image

• To create a shallow depth of field

• To capture motion blur in the landscape

Multiple Choice

How can a photographer use a depth of field calculator effectively?

• By guessing the settings without any calculations

• By inputting the camera model, aperture, focal length, and focus distance to determine the depth of field for a specific shot.

• By using a weather app to estimate the depth of field

• By relying solely on automatic camera settings

Multiple Choice

In portrait photography, why is a shallow depth of field often preferred?

• To capture more details in the background

• To isolate the subject from the background and create a visually appealing look.

• To enhance the dynamic range of the photo

• To increase the overall sharpness of the image

Multiple Choice

What is the effect of a narrow aperture on the depth of field?

• Decreases

• Reverses

• Increases

• Has no effect

Multiple Choice

When using a telephoto lens, how does the depth of field change?

• The depth of field becomes wider.

• The depth of field becomes deeper.

• The depth of field becomes shallower.

• The depth of field remains the same.

Multiple Choice

Best aperture setting and focal length for this landscape photograph

• Best aperture setting: f/22 to f/32, Best focal length: 200mm

• Best aperture setting: f/8 to f/16, Best focal length: 16mm to 35mm
• Best aperture setting: f/4 to f/8, Best focal length: 100mm to 300mm

Multiple Choice

How can a photographer achieve a pleasing bokeh effect in their images?

• Use a wide aperture, focus on subject with distance from background, and use longer focal length lens.

• Use a shorter focal length lens

• Focus on subject with distance from foreground

• Use a narrow aperture

Multiple Choice

What is the reason behind the grainy effect in the photograph?

• Incorrect white balance
• Slow shutter speed
• High ISO

• Low aperture setting

Multiple Choice

How does a wide aperture setting impact the depth of field in a photograph?

• A wide aperture setting decreases the depth of field in a photograph.

• A wide aperture setting increases the depth of field in a photograph.

• A wide aperture setting has no impact on the depth of field in a photograph.

• A wide aperture setting distorts the depth of field in a photograph.
