Beginning Photo Final Exam Semester 1 2025

What are the three components of the exposure triangle?

• A) ISO, White Balance, Shutter Speed

• B) ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed

• C) Aperture, Depth of Field, Shutter Speed

• D) ISO, Shutter Speed, Focus

What does the aperture control in photography?

• The brightness of the flash

• The amount of light entering the lens

• The sensitivity of the camera to light

• The speed at which the photo is taken

A lower f-stop number (aperture) such as f2.8 results in:

• Less light entering the camera

• A larger depth of field

• A smaller aperture opening

• A shallow depth of field

Increasing the ISO setting on your camera will:

• A) Reduce image noise

• B) Make the image sharper

• C) Increase the camera's sensitivity to light

• D) Change the color balance

A faster shutter speed (e.g., 1/1000) is used to:

• freeze motion and reduce motion blur
• enhance color saturation
• capture low-light scenes
• increase motion blur

What is the effect of a slower shutter speed (e.g., 1/30)?

• It increases the depth of field

• It allows more light to enter the camera

• It freezes fast-moving objects

• It decreases the sensitivity to light

Which of the following would produce the most noise in an image?

• ISO 100

• ISO 400

• ISO 1600

• ISO 6400

What happens when the ISO is set too high?

• The photo appears blurry

• The image may become grainy or noisy

• The image becomes darker

• The focus becomes sharper

To achieve a blurred background effect, which setting would you adjust?

• ISO

• Shutter speed

• Aperture

• White balance

Which aperture setting lets in the most light?

• A) f/22

• B) f/16

• C) f/5.6

• D) f/2.8
