Which of the following is NOT a common exposure strategy used in night photography?

  1. Long Exposure

  2. Short Exposure

  3. Light Painting

  4. Star Trails


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Short exposure is not typically used in night photography as it does not allow enough light to reach the sensor to create a properly exposed image.

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

  1. To keep the camera steady and prevent camera shake

  2. To allow for longer exposure times

  3. To adjust the camera's focus

  4. To change the camera's aperture


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A tripod is used in night photography to keep the camera steady and prevent camera shake, which can occur due to the long exposure times often used in this type of photography.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects the exposure of a night photograph?

  1. Shutter speed

  2. Aperture

  3. ISO

  4. White balance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

White balance does not directly affect the exposure of a night photograph, as it primarily adjusts the color temperature of the image.

What is the technique of using a flashlight or other light source to illuminate a subject in night photography called?

  1. Light Painting

  2. Star Trails

  3. Long Exposure

  4. Bulb Mode


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Light Painting is a technique used in night photography where a light source is moved around in front of the camera to create patterns or illuminate specific areas of the scene.

What is the technique of capturing a series of long exposure images of the night sky to create a composite image of star trails called?

  1. Light Painting

  2. Star Trails

  3. Long Exposure

  4. Bulb Mode


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Star Trails is a technique used in night photography where a series of long exposure images of the night sky are captured and stacked together to create a composite image that shows the movement of stars over time.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended setting for capturing star trails in night photography?

  1. Long exposure time (e.g., 30 seconds or more)

  2. High ISO (e.g., ISO 1600 or higher)

  3. Wide aperture (e.g., f/2.8 or wider)

  4. Manual focus


Correct Option:
Explanation:

High ISO is not recommended for capturing star trails as it can introduce noise and grain into the image.

What is the purpose of using a remote shutter release or self-timer in night photography?

  1. To avoid camera shake caused by pressing the shutter button

  2. To allow for longer exposure times without having to hold the shutter button

  3. To adjust the camera's focus

  4. To change the camera's aperture


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A remote shutter release or self-timer is used in night photography to avoid camera shake caused by pressing the shutter button, which can result in blurry images.

Which of the following is NOT a common technique used to reduce noise in night photographs?

  1. Using a lower ISO

  2. Using a noise reduction filter in post-processing

  3. Taking multiple exposures and stacking them in post-processing

  4. Using a tripod to stabilize the camera


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using a tripod to stabilize the camera is not a technique specifically used to reduce noise in night photographs, although it can help to prevent camera shake and blurry images.

What is the technique of capturing multiple exposures of the same scene at different exposure values and combining them in post-processing called?

  1. HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography

  2. Light Painting

  3. Star Trails

  4. Long Exposure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is a technique used in night photography to capture multiple exposures of the same scene at different exposure values and combine them in post-processing to create an image with a wider dynamic range.

Which of the following is NOT a common subject for night photography?

  1. Cityscapes

  2. Landscapes

  3. Astrophotography

  4. Portraits


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Portraits are not typically considered a common subject for night photography as the low-light conditions can make it difficult to properly expose and focus on the subject.

What is the purpose of using a lens with a wide maximum aperture (e.g., f/2.8 or wider) in night photography?

  1. To allow more light to reach the sensor

  2. To increase the depth of field

  3. To decrease the shutter speed

  4. To change the camera's focus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using a lens with a wide maximum aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, which is especially important in night photography where light levels are often low.

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

  1. Leading lines

  2. Rule of thirds

  3. Symmetry

  4. Color contrast


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Color contrast is not typically considered a common composition technique specifically for night photography, although it can be used to create visually appealing images.

What is the technique of using a slow shutter speed to capture the movement of light in night photography called?

  1. Light Painting

  2. Star Trails

  3. Long Exposure

  4. Bulb Mode


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Long Exposure is a technique used in night photography where a slow shutter speed is used to capture the movement of light, such as car headlights or city lights.

Which of the following is NOT a common post-processing technique used for night photographs?

  1. Adjusting the exposure and contrast

  2. Reducing noise

  3. Sharpening the image

  4. Cropping and resizing the image


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cropping and resizing the image is not typically considered a common post-processing technique specifically for night photographs, although it can be used to improve the composition or size of the image.
