Traveling to new locations for inspiration Mastering advanced camera settings Using editing software for image enhancement Slowing down to notice and reinterpret everyday details 2 / 50 In the “Beast to Beauty” assignment, what is the task? Taking a boring household item and making it interesting through creative shots Comparing portraits of people Editing ugly photos to look beautiful Photographing animals in nature 3 / 50 Which photographer is known for black-and-white landscapes and co-founded the group “f/64”? Robert Capa George Brassaï Ansel Adams Floria Sigismondi 4 / 50 What is Robert Capa’s famous motto? Capture the decisive moment If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough Embrace nocturnal life Focus on depth of field 5 / 50 What is the primary difference between the human eye and a camera, as described in Lesson 3? The camera can see in the dark better than the eye. The human eye has "selective vision" and ignores distractions, while a camera captures everything. A camera lens can zoom, while the human eye cannot. The human eye sees in black and white, while a camera sees in color. 6 / 50 What does shutter speed primarily control? Color balance Depth of field Light and movement Focal length 7 / 50 In aperture settings, what does a *smaller* f-stop number (like f/2) indicate? Larger opening, shallower depth of field Smaller opening, deeper depth of field A faster shutter speed A higher ISO 8 / 50 What is the technique of blurring the background while keeping a moving subject sharp by moving the camera with the subject? Bracketing Panning Staging Feathering 9 / 50 Which lens is best for capturing broad scenes like landscapes? Telephoto lens (85mm-135mm) Wide-angle lens (20mm-35mm) Normal lens (50mm) Fisheye lens 10 / 50 What filter is used to control reflections on non-metal surfaces like water or glass? UV filter Neutral density filter Polarizing filter Diffusion filter 11 / 50 What is a drawback of using a higher ISO? It requires a longer shutter speed. It creates more noise or grain. It creates a shallower depth of field. It reduces the camera's sensitivity to light. 12 / 50 What are the three primary colors? Red, Yellow, Blue Red, Green, Blue Cyan, Magenta, Yellow Green, Orange, Purple 13 / 50 What effect do complementary colors (opposites on the color wheel) create when used together? Muted tones High contrast and drama A monochromatic theme A soothing harmony 14 / 50 What are analogous colors? All shades of one color Colors adjacent on the color wheel, creating flow Black and white only Opposites on the color wheel 15 / 50 What psychological effect does the color red typically have? Reliable and earthy Sad and wistful Emotionally intense, stimulates heartbeat Calming and tranquil 16 / 50 In composition, what feeling do vertical lines typically evoke? Calmness and peace Motion and energy Dignity, height, and grandeur Beauty and charm 17 / 50 What are “S curves” also called in composition? Line of Beauty Line of Motion Leading Line Implied Line 18 / 50 What is “high key” photography? Dark tones dominating the image for a mysterious effect. Exaggerating light for delicate, feminine, or dreamy effects. A perfectly balanced range of tones. A photograph with no shadows at all. 19 / 50 According to the Rule of Thirds, where should the main subject be placed? Top corner In the exact center At the intersections of the dividing lines Along the bottom edge 20 / 50 What is the compositional mistake of “amputation”? Cutting off parts of objects at the frame edge Using too much negative space Adding elements that don't belong Blurring the background too much 21 / 50 What effect does backlighting often create? Silhouettes by underexposing the foreground Soft, even shadows Flat images with no depth Perfectly revealed textures 22 / 50 Which type of lighting is best for revealing texture? Overhead lighting Side lighting Front lighting Backlighting 23 / 50 What does front lighting (sun behind the photographer) tend to do to an image? Adds depth and texture Flattens the image by eliminating shadows Blurs the background Creates dramatic, hard shadows 24 / 50 How can hard light (like direct sun) be turned into soft light? Through diffusion materials like tracing paper or clouds By adding more shadows By increasing the light intensity By using a reflective surface 25 / 50 What is “flash fill” used for? Blurring motion at night Creating silhouettes in a studio Using flash in daytime against a bright background to expose the foreground Making light "harder" and more directional 26 / 50 What is “the decisive moment” in photography? Using themes and a tripod The moment you finish editing an image Capturing fleeting perfect moments with precision timing Using a long exposure to blur action 27 / 50 What is “bracketing” in photography? Staging scenes to tell a story Taking multiple shots with different exposure variations Using lines to frame a subject Working very close up to the subject 28 / 50 What is the most important element in black and white photography? Composition only Tones Lighting Colors 29 / 50 Why might a color photo convert poorly to black and white? It was overexposed in color It had too much contrast in color Different colors (like light blue and yellow) have similar tones, making it flat It was underexposed in color 30 / 50 What tool in digital cameras and Photoshop graphically represents the tonal range of an image? Aperture dial Color wheel Histogram Shutter button 31 / 50 In landscape photography, how can you maximize depth of field (keep everything in focus)? Use a fast shutter speed Use a low f-number (large aperture) Use a low ISO Use a higher f-number (smaller aperture) 32 / 50 Why is a tripod often necessary for landscape photography? To prevent blur from slower shutter speeds needed for small apertures To capture fast-moving animals To achieve a shallow depth of field To make the colors more vibrant 33 / 50 What is the key to good portrait photography?
