Questions and Answers

Which of the following is NOT one of the big three when it comes to photography?

  • Aperture
  • ISO
  • Exposure (correct)

    • What is aperture?

  • The measure of how sensitive the camera sensor is to light

  • The measure of how fast the shutter opens and closes
  • The measure of how open or closed the iris of your lenses is (correct)

    • What does a larger f-stop number indicate?

  • A faster shutter speed and a brighter exposure
  • A more closed iris and a darker exposure (correct)
  • A slower shutter speed and a darker exposure
  • A more open iris and a brighter exposure

    Study Notes

    Photography Basics

    • Big Three in Photography: The "big three" typically refers to aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Identifying a component that is not part of this trio is crucial for understanding foundational photography.

    • Aperture:

      • Refers to the opening in a camera lens that controls the amount of light entering the camera.
      • Measured in f-stops (e.g., f/2.8, f/4), which indicate the size of the aperture opening.
      • Affects depth of field, allowing for blurred backgrounds (shallow depth) or sharp focus (deep depth).

    • Larger f-stop number:

      • Indicates a smaller aperture opening.
      • Allows less light to enter the camera.
      • Creates a greater depth of field, enabling more of the image to be in focus.

    • Shutter Speed:

      • Determines the length of time the camera's shutter remains open to expose light onto the camera sensor.
      • Measured in seconds or fractions of a second (e.g., 1/1000, 1 second).
      • Influences motion blur; faster shutter speeds freeze action, while slower speeds reveal motion.

    • ISO:

      • Represents the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light.
      • A higher ISO value allows for shooting in lower light conditions but may introduce noise/grain in the image.
      • Balancing ISO with aperture and shutter speed is key to achieving well-exposed photographs.
