The golden hour, just after sunrise or before sunset, provides warm, diffused light that enhances colors and creates long, dramatic shadows.

What is the most important factor to consider when choosing a lens for wildlife photography?

  1. Aperture

  2. Focal length

  3. Image stabilization

  4. Autofocus speed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Focal length determines the magnification of the subject, allowing you to capture close-ups of distant wildlife.

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

  1. Aperture

  2. Shutter speed

  3. ISO

  4. White balance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aperture controls the size of the opening in the lens, affecting the depth of field and the amount of light reaching the sensor.

What is the technique of using a slow shutter speed to create a sense of motion in wildlife photos called?

  1. Panning

  2. Freezing

  3. Bokeh

  4. Long exposure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Panning involves moving the camera along with the moving subject, creating a blurred background and a sense of speed.

Which of the following is NOT a common composition technique used in wildlife photography?

  1. Rule of thirds

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Centering the subject is generally not recommended in wildlife photography, as it can create a static and unengaging composition.

What is the purpose of using a tripod in wildlife photography?

  1. To reduce camera shake

  2. To allow for long exposure shots

  3. To provide a stable platform for the camera

  4. All of the above

Explanation:

In bright sunlight, a low ISO (100-200) is recommended to minimize noise and maintain image quality.

Which of the following is NOT a common challenge faced by wildlife photographers?

  1. Unpredictable animal behavior

  2. Harsh lighting conditions

  3. Limited access to wildlife habitats

  4. Perfect weather conditions


Correct Option: D

What is the best way to capture a wildlife photo with a shallow depth of field?

  1. Use a wide aperture

  2. Use a telephoto lens

  3. Use a tripod

  4. Use a remote shutter release


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using a wide aperture (low f-number) creates a shallow depth of field, blurring the background and isolating the subject.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended technique for capturing wildlife photos in low-light conditions?

  1. Use a tripod

  2. Increase the ISO

  3. Use a flash

  4. Use a telephoto lens


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using a telephoto lens in low-light conditions can result in blurry images due to camera shake.
