10 Basics Functions Photography Test

NAME: __Sophia___ SCORE OUT OF:         /16

Worksheet #1: Sidewalk Talk  

1. Does this photo have a short depth of field or long depth of field? Given the depth of field what is a more likely F/Stop or Aperture 4 or 16? (2pts) The image has a long depth of field. And is more likely an f/16.

2. The person walking in the background is also in focus. Given that there is no motion blur what would be a more likely shutter speed 1/30 or 1/250? (1pt) 1/250

3. Given what we know from question #1 and #2 do you think that this picture was taken on a very bright day or an overcast day? (1pt) It was an bright day as there was a small aperture and a fast shutter speed.

4. If we wanted the person in the background to show motion blur what should be done to the shutter speed? (3pts) if we wanted a motion blur we would use a slow shutter speed, like at ¼.

5. If we change the shutter speed we also need to change the aperture. Why? (3pts)  You have to change the aperture as well because we have to follow that exposure triangle. The exposure triangle make sure you have a good expose which mean that if changing one of them the other have to be adjusted to obtain good exposure.

 Worksheet #2: The Game

 

1. This is an evening football game. Even though the players are in motion they are all clear and in focus, what does that tell us about the shutter speed (fast or slow)? (1pt) This tells us that it is a fast shutter speed.

2. Given the shutter speed needed to keep the players in focus and remembering that this is an evening game what do you think is a more likely F/Stop 4 or 16. Why? (3 pts) the f/stop would be f/4 as more light is need to get good exposure (since we are already using a fast shutter speed) and as it is an evening game there wouldn’t be much light.

3. Given the answer you gave to question #2 what would you expect the depth of field to be in this photo (short or long) (1pt) The depth of field is short.

4. If this game was played on a sunny afternoon day but you still wanted the action stopped or frozen, what would you have to do the aperture? (1pt) You would make the aperture smaller (f/16)
