Which camera setting is primarily responsible for controlling the amount of light entering the lens?

  1. Shutter Speed

  2. Aperture

  3. ISO

  4. White Balance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Aperture, measured in f-stops, determines the size of the opening in the lens through which light passes.

How does increasing the ISO setting affect the image?

  1. Increases image brightness

  2. Decreases image noise

  3. Increases depth of field

  4. Slows down shutter speed


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Increasing ISO increases the camera's sensitivity to light, allowing more light to be captured, resulting in a brighter image.

What is the primary drawback of increasing the ISO setting?

  1. Increased image sharpness

  2. Reduced image noise

  3. Faster shutter speeds

  4. Increased image grain


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increasing ISO can introduce image noise, also known as grain, which appears as small, colored dots in the image.

Which technique involves combining multiple exposures of the same scene to achieve a wider dynamic range?

  1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)

  2. Long Exposure

  3. Time-Lapse

  4. Panorama


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

HDR photography combines multiple exposures taken at different exposure values to capture a wider range of tones and details in a scene.

What is the primary purpose of using a tripod in night photography?

  1. To reduce camera shake

  2. To increase depth of field

  3. To capture moving subjects

  4. To achieve faster shutter speeds


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A tripod stabilizes the camera, minimizing camera shake and ensuring sharp images, especially in low-light conditions where slower shutter speeds are required.

Which lens type is generally preferred for night photography due to its wide aperture?

  1. Telephoto Lens

  2. Prime Lens

  3. Fisheye Lens

  4. Zoom Lens


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Prime lenses, with their fixed focal length, typically have wider apertures than zoom lenses, allowing more light to reach the sensor.

What is the term for the technique of capturing a series of images at different shutter speeds and combining them to create a single image?

  1. Focus Stacking

  2. HDR (High Dynamic Range)

  3. Time-Lapse

  4. Image Blending


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Image blending involves combining multiple images taken at different shutter speeds to create a single image with a wider dynamic range and reduced noise.

Which camera setting controls the length of time the shutter remains open, allowing light to reach the sensor?

  1. Aperture

  2. ISO

  3. Shutter Speed

  4. White Balance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Shutter speed determines the duration of the exposure, affecting the amount of light captured and the motion blur in the image.

What is the primary advantage of using a remote shutter release in night photography?

  1. To reduce camera shake

  2. To capture moving subjects

  3. To achieve faster shutter speeds

  4. To increase depth of field


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A remote shutter release minimizes camera shake by eliminating the need to touch the camera during the exposure, ensuring sharper images.

Which composition technique involves placing the subject against a bright background to create a silhouette?

  1. Leading Lines

  2. Rule of Thirds

  3. Negative Space

  4. Silhouette


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Silhouette photography involves placing the subject against a bright background, resulting in a dark, outlined figure.

What is the term for the technique of capturing a series of images at different focus points and combining them to create a single image with extended depth of field?

  1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)

  2. Focus Stacking

  3. Time-Lapse

  4. Image Blending


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Focus stacking involves combining multiple images taken at different focus points to create a single image with extended depth of field, ensuring that all elements of the scene are sharp.

Which camera setting controls the overall brightness of the image?

  1. Shutter Speed

  2. Aperture

  3. ISO

  4. Exposure Compensation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Exposure compensation allows you to adjust the overall brightness of the image by increasing or decreasing the exposure value.

What is the term for the technique of capturing a series of images over a period of time and combining them to create a video?

  1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)

  2. Focus Stacking

  3. Time-Lapse

  4. Image Blending


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Time-lapse photography involves capturing a series of images over a period of time, typically with a fixed interval, and combining them to create a video that shows the passage of time.

Which composition technique involves placing the subject in the center of the frame to create a symmetrical image?

  1. Leading Lines

  2. Rule of Thirds

  3. Negative Space

  4. Center Composition


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Center composition involves placing the subject in the center of the frame, creating a symmetrical and balanced image.

What is the term for the technique of capturing a series of images at different angles and stitching them together to create a panoramic image?

  1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)

  2. Focus Stacking

  3. Time-Lapse

  4. Panorama


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Panorama photography involves capturing a series of images at different angles and stitching them together to create a wide, immersive image.
