What is motion blur in photography?

  1. The intentional blurring of moving objects to create a sense of movement

  2. The unintentional blurring of moving objects due to a slow shutter speed

  3. The blurring of objects due to camera shake

  4. The blurring of objects due to a dirty lens


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Motion blur occurs when the shutter speed is too slow to freeze the movement of a subject, resulting in a blurred image.

What is the relationship between shutter speed and motion blur?

  1. The faster the shutter speed, the more motion blur

  2. The slower the shutter speed, the more motion blur

  3. Shutter speed has no effect on motion blur

  4. Motion blur is not affected by shutter speed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A slower shutter speed allows more time for light to reach the sensor, resulting in more motion blur.

What are some creative uses of motion blur in photography?

  1. To convey a sense of movement and energy

  2. To create a dreamy or ethereal effect

  3. To emphasize the passage of time

  4. To hide unwanted details in a scene


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Motion blur can be used for a variety of creative purposes, including conveying movement, creating a dreamy effect, emphasizing the passage of time, and hiding unwanted details.

How can you reduce motion blur in your photographs?

  1. Use a faster shutter speed

  2. Use a tripod or other camera support

  3. Use a higher ISO setting

  4. Use a lens with a wider aperture


Correct Option:
Explanation:

To reduce motion blur, you can use a faster shutter speed, use a tripod or other camera support, use a higher ISO setting, or use a lens with a wider aperture.

What is the panning technique in photography?

  1. Moving the camera along with a moving subject to create a sense of motion

  2. Using a slow shutter speed to create motion blur

  3. Using a fast shutter speed to freeze motion

  4. Using a tripod to keep the camera steady


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The panning technique involves moving the camera along with a moving subject to create a sense of motion, while keeping the subject sharp and the background blurred.

What is the difference between motion blur and camera shake?

  1. Motion blur is caused by a slow shutter speed, while camera shake is caused by a moving camera

  2. Motion blur is caused by a moving subject, while camera shake is caused by a moving camera

  3. Motion blur is caused by a dirty lens, while camera shake is caused by a moving camera

  4. Motion blur and camera shake are the same thing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Motion blur is caused by a slow shutter speed, which allows moving objects to blur, while camera shake is caused by a moving camera, which results in a blurred image.

What is the relationship between aperture and motion blur?

  1. A wider aperture reduces motion blur

  2. A narrower aperture reduces motion blur

  3. Aperture has no effect on motion blur

  4. Aperture is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A wider aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, which can help to reduce motion blur by allowing a faster shutter speed to be used.

What is the relationship between ISO and motion blur?

  1. A higher ISO reduces motion blur

  2. A lower ISO reduces motion blur

  3. ISO has no effect on motion blur

  4. ISO is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A higher ISO setting allows the camera to be more sensitive to light, which can help to reduce motion blur by allowing a faster shutter speed to be used.

What is the relationship between focal length and motion blur?

  1. A longer focal length reduces motion blur

  2. A shorter focal length reduces motion blur

  3. Focal length has no effect on motion blur

  4. Focal length is not related to motion blur


Correct Option:
Explanation:

A longer focal length magnifies the movement of objects, which can result in more motion blur.

What is the relationship between subject distance and motion blur?

  1. The closer the subject, the more motion blur

  2. The farther the subject, the more motion blur

  3. Subject distance has no effect on motion blur

  4. Subject distance is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The closer the subject is to the camera, the more its movement will be magnified, resulting in more motion blur.

What is the relationship between camera movement and motion blur?

  1. Camera movement reduces motion blur

  2. Camera movement increases motion blur

  3. Camera movement has no effect on motion blur

  4. Camera movement is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Camera movement, such as panning or zooming, can introduce motion blur by causing the image to be blurred.

What is the relationship between shutter speed and panning?

  1. A faster shutter speed is better for panning

  2. A slower shutter speed is better for panning

  3. Shutter speed has no effect on panning

  4. Panning is not related to shutter speed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A slower shutter speed allows for more motion blur, which can create a more dynamic and visually appealing panning shot.

What is the relationship between focal length and panning?

  1. A longer focal length is better for panning

  2. A shorter focal length is better for panning

  3. Focal length has no effect on panning

  4. Panning is not related to focal length


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A longer focal length allows for a narrower field of view, which can help to isolate the subject and create a more dramatic panning effect.

What is the relationship between panning technique and motion blur?

  1. Panning technique reduces motion blur

  2. Panning technique increases motion blur

  3. Panning technique has no effect on motion blur

  4. Panning technique is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Panning technique involves moving the camera along with a moving subject, which can help to reduce motion blur by keeping the subject sharp while blurring the background.

What is the relationship between panning speed and motion blur?

  1. A faster panning speed reduces motion blur

  2. A slower panning speed reduces motion blur

  3. Panning speed has no effect on motion blur

  4. Panning speed is not related to motion blur


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A slower panning speed allows for more motion blur, which can create a more dynamic and visually appealing panning shot.
