What is the rule of thirds?
-
A compositional guideline that divides the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically.
-
A rule that states that the most important element in a photo should be placed in the center of the frame.
-
A technique for creating a sense of depth in a photo by using different focal lengths.
-
A method for creating a sense of balance in a photo by using symmetrical elements.
The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline that divides the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. The most important elements in a photo should be placed along these lines or at their intersections.
What is leading lines?
-
Elements in a photo that draw the viewer's eye to a specific point.
-
Lines that are created by the edges of objects in a photo.
-
Lines that are created by the direction of light in a photo.
-
Lines that are created by the movement of objects in a photo.
Leading lines are elements in a photo that draw the viewer's eye to a specific point. This can be done by using lines, shapes, or colors that point towards the desired focal point.
What is the difference between positive and negative space?
-
Positive space is the area of a photo that is occupied by objects, while negative space is the area that is not.
-
Positive space is the area of a photo that is brighter, while negative space is the area that is darker.
-
Positive space is the area of a photo that is in focus, while negative space is the area that is out of focus.
-
Positive space is the area of a photo that is warm in color, while negative space is the area that is cool in color.
Positive space is the area of a photo that is occupied by objects, while negative space is the area that is not. Negative space can be just as important as positive space in creating a balanced and interesting composition.
What is the golden ratio?
-
A mathematical ratio that is often used in art and design.
-
A compositional guideline that divides the frame into two equal parts.
-
A rule that states that the most important element in a photo should be placed in the center of the frame.
-
A technique for creating a sense of depth in a photo by using different focal lengths.
The golden ratio is a mathematical ratio that is often used in art and design. It is approximately equal to 1.618 and is often considered to be aesthetically pleasing.
What is the difference between a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens?
-
A wide-angle lens has a shorter focal length than a telephoto lens.
-
A wide-angle lens has a longer focal length than a telephoto lens.
-
A wide-angle lens creates a wider field of view than a telephoto lens.
-
A wide-angle lens creates a narrower field of view than a telephoto lens.
A wide-angle lens has a shorter focal length than a telephoto lens. This means that a wide-angle lens can capture a wider field of view than a telephoto lens.
What is the difference between a prime lens and a zoom lens?
-
A prime lens has a fixed focal length, while a zoom lens has a variable focal length.
-
A prime lens is typically smaller and lighter than a zoom lens.
-
A prime lens is typically sharper than a zoom lens.
-
All of the above.
A prime lens has a fixed focal length, while a zoom lens has a variable focal length. A prime lens is typically smaller and lighter than a zoom lens, and a prime lens is typically sharper than a zoom lens.
What is the difference between a tripod and a monopod?
-
A tripod has three legs, while a monopod has one leg.
-
A tripod is more stable than a monopod.
-
A monopod is more portable than a tripod.
-
All of the above.
A tripod has three legs, while a monopod has one leg. A tripod is more stable than a monopod, and a monopod is more portable than a tripod.
What is the difference between a flash and a reflector?
-
A flash emits light, while a reflector reflects light.
-
A flash is used to add light to a scene, while a reflector is used to reduce light.
-
A flash is typically used indoors, while a reflector is typically used outdoors.
-
All of the above.

What is the difference between a softbox and an umbrella?
-
A softbox is a large, rectangular light modifier, while an umbrella is a circular light modifier.
-
A softbox produces a softer, more diffused light than an umbrella.
-
A softbox is typically more expensive than an umbrella.
-
All of the above.
A softbox is a large, rectangular light modifier, while an umbrella is a circular light modifier. A softbox produces a softer, more diffused light than an umbrella. A softbox is typically more expensive than an umbrella.
What is the difference between a scrim and a flag?
-
