Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Negative space refers to the areas of a photograph that are not occupied by objects or elements, and can be used to create a sense of mystery or intrigue by leaving room for the viewer's imagination.

What is the primary purpose of using a graduated neutral density filter in landscape photography?

  1. To reduce the amount of light entering the lens

  2. To balance the exposure between the sky and the foreground

  3. To create a long exposure effect

  4. To enhance the colors in the photograph


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Graduated neutral density filters are used to balance the exposure between the sky and the foreground in a landscape photograph, preventing overexposure of the sky while maintaining detail in the foreground.

Which of these is a technique used to capture a series of photographs at different focus distances and combine them to create a single image with extended depth of field?

  1. Long Exposure

  2. HDR Photography

  3. Focus Stacking

  4. Panorama Stitching


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Focus stacking is a technique used to capture a series of photographs at different focus distances and combine them to create a single image with extended depth of field, ensuring that all elements of the photograph are in focus.

What is the term used to describe the process of adjusting the color temperature of a photograph to match the actual lighting conditions?

  1. White Balance

  2. Exposure
