CMC Quiz 2 with 100% Correct Solutions
Freelance capacity - Correct Answers-choose their own subjects and material to shoot
or get assigned a specific event
DSLR - Correct Answers--term synonymous with a professional camera
-digital camera that uses a mirror mechanism to either reflect light from a camera lens to
an optical viewfinder or let light fully pass onto the image sensor by moving the mirror
out of the way
Image Sensor - Correct Answers-brain of the camera, the bigger the better, bigger can
handle more information and gather more light
Custom Shooting - Correct Answers-photographer must take control of the camera, take
full manual control of the camera
Lenses - Correct Answers-DSLRs can use interchangable lenses which you are able to
switch out for different shooting situations
JPEG - Correct Answers-lossy, certain information is removed from the image
RAW image - Correct Answers--digital negatives
-unprocessed files coming directly from the camera sensor
-preserve the most amount of information about an image and generally contain more
colors and dynamic range than JPEG images
-take up more storage because they are uncompressed
Wide Angle - Correct Answers-allows more of the scene to be included in the
photograph (landscape)
Telephoto - Correct Answers-longer focal length than standard gives a narrow field of
view and magnified image
what are the 5 elements of composition - Correct Answers-1. shape
2. line
3. pattern
4. texture
5. shadows
Shape - Correct Answers-isolating a subjects unique shape,
, Line - Correct Answers-strong diagonal lines convey a sense of motion and energy in a
photograph whether its a close-up or a wide-angle overview
Texture - Correct Answers-relates to the surface of an object, adds depth and visual
interest, can be applied graphically in the form of pattern or through the choice of
printable surface
Standard Lens - Correct Answers-lens that reproduces a field of view that appears
natural to a human eye
Focal Length (3 categories) - Correct Answers-Wide Angle, Standard, and Telephoto
the distance between the lens and the image sensor, usually stated in millimeters
determines how zoomed in your photos are
Exposure - Correct Answers-how an image is recorded by camera sensor and how
much light is captured
Three components of exposure triangle - Correct Answers-aperture, shutter speed, ISO
ISO - Correct Answers--the sensitivity of the camera to light
-think about brain and how it is affected by light
The ___________ the number of ISO the lower the sensititvity to light - Correct
Answers-lower
The ___________ the ISO the more the image degrades with the introduction of noise -
Correct Answers-higher
The ________ ISO the better quality the image - Correct Answers-lower
General rule of thumb with ISO - Correct Answers-start with a low ISO and then
increase it only as needed
Aperture - Correct Answers-hole within a lens through which light travels into the
camera sensor (pupil-controls the amount of light that enters the camera)
Aperture is expressed in __________________ aka ___________ - Correct Answers-f-
numbers, f-stops
A ___________ f-stop means a larger aperture - Correct Answers-smaller, lots of light
A ____________ f-stop means a smaller aperture - Correct Answers-larger, very little
light
