    When a photo is too dark this is caused by not enough light entering the camera and it is called:

    • Overexposed

    • Underexposed

    • Out of focus

    • Camera shake

    Correct Answer
    A. Underexposed
    Explanation
    When a photo is too dark, it means that not enough light entered the camera during the exposure. This results in a lack of detail and brightness in the image. This phenomenon is known as underexposure.

    The total amount of light that hits the sensor, or film, to produce an image is called:

    • Exposure

    • Noise

    • Fill flash

    • Saturation

    Correct Answer
    A. Exposure
    Explanation
    Exposure refers to the total amount of light that reaches the sensor or film in order to capture an image. It determines the brightness and darkness of the image. By adjusting the exposure, photographers can control the amount of light that enters the camera, resulting in a properly exposed image. Too much exposure can lead to overexposed or washed-out images, while too little exposure can result in underexposed or dark images. Understanding exposure is crucial for achieving well-balanced and properly lit photographs.

    This photo is a good example of using what photographic design principle: - ProProfs

    This photo is a good example of using what photographic design principle:

    • Golden triangle

    • Leading lines

    • Rule of thirds

    • Golden rectangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Rule of thirds
    Explanation
    This photo is a good example of using the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline that suggests dividing an image into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines. The main elements of the photo are placed along these lines or at their intersections, creating a more balanced and visually appealing composition. In this photo, the subject is placed off-center, following the rule of thirds, which adds interest and helps draw the viewer's attention.

    The subject of your photo is also called the:

    • Rule of thirds

    • Background

    • Focus

    • Focal point

    Correct Answer
    A. Focal point
    Explanation
    The subject of a photo is often referred to as the focal point. The focal point is the main point of interest in the image, drawing the viewer's attention and conveying the intended message or story. It is the element that stands out the most and is typically positioned in the center or off-center using the rule of thirds composition technique. By using a focal point, photographers can create a visually compelling image that captures the viewer's attention.

    The distance between the nearest and farthest object that is in focus is called:

    • Background

    • Foreground

    • Composition

    • Depth of field

    Correct Answer
    A. Depth of field
    Explanation
    Depth of field refers to the range of distance in a photograph where objects appear sharp and in focus. It is determined by factors such as aperture, focal length, and distance between the camera and the subject. The depth of field can vary, with a shallow depth of field resulting in a small area in focus and a blurred background, while a deep depth of field results in a larger area in focus from the foreground to the background. Therefore, the distance between the nearest and farthest object in focus is referred to as the depth of field.

    The part of the camera that opens and closes to control the time that the light gets into the camera is called:

    • Sensor

    • Lens

    • Shutter

    • Aperture

    Correct Answer
    A. Shutter
    Explanation
    The shutter is the part of the camera that opens and closes to control the amount of time that light enters the camera. It is responsible for controlling the exposure time, allowing the photographer to capture a desired amount of light. By adjusting the speed at which the shutter opens and closes, the photographer can control the amount of motion blur in a photo. The shutter plays a crucial role in determining the overall sharpness and clarity of an image.

In photography, light plays a crucial role in creating the image by exposing the film or sensor to light, which then forms an image. The term "drawing" implies the artistic aspect of composing and capturing images using light as the medium.
