SCI220 Exam 1 || QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS!!
In order to produce high-quality photographs, you must have access to high-end cameras and
equipment. correct answers False
What does composition mean? correct answers Choosing what to place in an image
What are the four issues a photographer must address before taking a photograph? correct
answers 1) Determine primary subject/ composition
2)Determine proper exposure
3)Determine optimal focusing technique
4)Determine optimal lighting
Why is there more than one "correct" exposure? correct answers There may need to be a specific
viewpoint of the crime scene duplicating the lighting at the time of the crime as well as the time
of investigation.
What are the three cardinal rules? correct answers 1)Fill the frame
2)Maximize the depth of field
3)Keep the film plane parallel
Foreground correct answers The image that is in front of the subject
Background correct answers The image that is behind the subject
How are shadows eliminated from the frame? correct answers By using a flash or by covering
the entire subject with shadow
Hard shadow correct answers Hide detail beneath object
Soft shadows correct answers Use reflectors to add gradual shadows in objects
What is lens flare and how to avoid it? correct answers When sunlight enters the lens and creates
colorful circles on the images. Can be avoided by facing away from the sun or using a lens hood
or hand to block the sun.
Macro lenses correct answers Increase size of small objects by allowing more pixels
Depth of field correct answers What appears in focus
What does it mean to be "in focus"? correct answers To have everything in the image clear
Reciprocal exposure correct answers Smallest aperture opening with shortest shutter speed
(1/60;f/22)
, Hyperfocal Focus correct answers When background is infinity and using depth of field scale
with camera distance
Zone focusing correct answers When infinity is not the background and using the "rule of thirds"
to determine the depth of field
Prefocus correct answers To put the camera at its closest focus position
To "keep the film plane parallel" correct answers Keep the back of the camera parallel to the
subject
Why do we avoid diagonal photographs? correct answers Diagonal views distort size of objects
as well as illumination
Exceptions to 3rd Cardinal rule correct answers When the plane is parallel to a window/mirror or
when using flash on reflective surfaces
Also when physically not able to stand far away enough to maintain entire subject parallel
What are midrange photos held parallel to? correct answers An imaginary isosceles triangle
between the subject and a fixed object to show accurate distances and sizes between the two
objects.
Underexposed vs overexposed image correct answers Underexposed: darker
Overexposed: lighter
What variables directly affect exposure? correct answers Shutter speed
Aperture
ISO
Ambient lighting
+ exposure vs - exposure correct answers A+1 doubles exposure
A-1 halves exposure
Single Lens Reflex correct answers Light entering through the lens and bouncing off the mirror
through the viewfinder
How are shutter speeds shown? correct answers In whole numbers while representing fractions
of a second
How are full seconds represented? correct answers With a quotation mark behind the number
How and why do we use a shutter release cable? correct answers Used when shutter speeds
needed are longer than what is on the camera and done by changing settings to "B" "bulb"
Shorter shutter speeds lead to overexposure correct answers False (Less light)
