Which of the following is not an element of composition in drone photography?

  1. Leading lines

  2. Rule of thirds

  3. Depth of field

  4. Color theory


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Depth of field is not an element of composition in drone photography, as it is a technical aspect of photography that controls the range of distances that appear sharp in an image.

What is the rule of thirds in composition?

  1. Dividing the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically

  2. Placing the subject in the center of the frame

  3. Using leading lines to draw the viewer's eye to the subject

  4. Creating a sense of balance and symmetry in the image


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline that divides the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal sections. The most important elements of the image should be placed along these lines or at their intersections.

Which of the following is not a type of lighting in drone photography?

  1. Natural light

  2. Artificial light

  3. Backlighting

  4. Sidelighting


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Backlighting is not a type of lighting in drone photography, as it refers to a situation where the light source is behind the subject, causing it to appear dark and silhouetted.

What is the best time of day for drone photography?

  1. Golden hour (sunrise and sunset)

  2. Midday

  3. Overcast days

  4. Nighttime


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The golden hour, which occurs shortly after sunrise and before sunset, is the best time of day for drone photography due to the warm, soft light that creates beautiful and dramatic images.

Which of the following is not a composition technique used in drone photography?

  1. Aerial perspective

  2. Panning

  3. Long exposure

  4. Time-lapse


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Panning is not a composition technique used in drone photography, as it refers to a technique where the camera is moved horizontally or vertically to follow a moving subject, creating a sense of motion blur.

What is the purpose of using leading lines in drone photography?

  1. To create a sense of depth and perspective

  2. To draw the viewer's eye to the subject

  3. To create a sense of balance and symmetry

  4. To add interest and variety to the image


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Leading lines are used in drone photography to draw the viewer's eye to the subject of the image. They can be natural features, such as roads, rivers, or coastlines, or man-made structures, such as bridges or buildings.

Which of the following is not a type of drone shot?

  1. Top-down shot

  2. Birds-eye view shot

  3. Oblique shot

  4. 360-degree shot


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

360-degree shot is not a type of drone shot, as it refers to a technique where the camera is rotated 360 degrees to create a panoramic image.

What is the purpose of using a neutral density (ND) filter in drone photography?

  1. To reduce the amount of light entering the camera

  2. To increase the amount of light entering the camera

  3. To change the color temperature of the light

  4. To create a long exposure effect


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ND filters are used in drone photography to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, allowing for longer exposure times and smoother video footage.

Which of the following is not a type of drone camera?

  1. DSLR camera

  2. Mirrorless camera

  3. Action camera

  4. Thermal camera


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Thermal cameras are not typically used in drone photography, as they are specialized cameras that detect and visualize heat radiation.

What is the purpose of using a gimbal in drone photography?

  1. To stabilize the camera and reduce vibrations

  2. To control the camera's movement and orientation

  3. To increase the camera's zoom range

  4. To change the camera's lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gimbals are used in drone photography to stabilize the camera and reduce vibrations, ensuring smooth and stable footage.

Which of the following is not a type of drone photography software?

  1. Adobe Photoshop

  2. Adobe Lightroom

  3. DJI Fly

  4. Pix4Dmapper


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pix4Dmapper is not a type of drone photography software, as it is a specialized software used for processing and analyzing drone data, such as creating 3D models and maps.

What is the purpose of using a polarizing filter in drone photography?

  1. To reduce glare and reflections

  2. To increase the amount of light entering the camera

  3. To change the color temperature of the light

  4. To create a long exposure effect


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Polarizing filters are used in drone photography to reduce glare and reflections from surfaces such as water, snow, and glass, resulting in more saturated and vibrant colors.

Which of the following is not a type of drone photography accessory?

  1. Batteries

  2. Propellers

  3. Landing gear

  4. Gimbal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gimbals are not considered accessories in drone photography, as they are essential components that stabilize the camera and reduce vibrations.

What is the purpose of using a graduated neutral density (GND) filter in drone photography?

  1. To balance the exposure between the sky and the ground

  2. To reduce the amount of light entering the camera

  3. To increase the amount of light entering the camera

  4. To change the color temperature of the light


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

GND filters are used in drone photography to balance the exposure between the sky and the ground, preventing overexposed skies and underexposed foregrounds.

Which of the following is not a type of drone photography technique?

  1. Hyperlapse

  2. Time-lapse

  3. Long exposure

  4. Panning


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Panning is not a type of drone photography technique, as it refers to a technique where the camera is moved horizontally or vertically to follow a moving subject, creating a sense of motion blur.
