Camera Control

Question 1
Which of the following is not a metering mode?

Ans: Bounceback

Question 2
Center-Weighted averaging metering measures only a small spot in the center of the frame, not
other areas of the scene.

Ans:

false

Question 3
Matrix or Evaluative Metering is the default metering method used on most cameras

True

Question 4
Which one is accurate?

Ans:
Meter measues the light intensity in several regions of the scene, and combines the results,
according to a method specific to the camera, to determine the “best” result. The number of
regions used varies widely, and from camera to camera. Most of the variation in method has
to do with how much priority is given to the Auto Focus point, and how many zones are
used. . Experimentation can help, but it is oftendifficult to determine exactly how the camera
reacts and why to various situations.

Question 5
Center-weighted metering is often used for portraits

true
Question 6
True or False: The built in light meters on cellphone, point-and-shoot, mirrorless, and DSLR
cameras are reflected light meters.

true

Question 7
Which statement about reflected light exposure meters is false.

Ans:

In a scene with many deep dark zones, ff you meter the darkest spot, it will be treated as middle
gray, and the brighter values will be correct.

4.
Question 4
There is a toolbar in the Developer Module, that has icons that initiate the use of six of the most powerful
and frequently used post-processing tools in Lightroom. Which of the following descriptions is NOT an
accurate description of one of those tools and how it works?
1 point

The Spot Removal Tool - This tool allows you to choose one of two modes: clone or heal. You can select a
source area and select where to put it as the target area. Clone takes the source exacly; Healing averages
and makes the change more gradual. Healing is better for blending; cloning is better when you need exact
detail, texture, etc. Various settings allow you to modify the effect of the two modes.

The Graduated Filter Tool is used to make localized corrections and changes to our photographs, that is,
making corrections and changes to specific areas (and not others). It is particularly useful for making one
or more changes simultaneously, in a large area that goes from one side of the photograph to the other,
although the brush can be used to erase subjects in the adjustment area that are to be left out. Large
rectangular areas, or polygonal areas, or triangular areas work best. You choose an overlay line and the
width of the gradual change that takes places from the starting point to the center of the overlay.
In a panel you can choose a wide range of setting to be effected (most are similar to the color temperature,
basic, and sharpness panels) You can also choose the characteristics for the brush, and change the brush
to an eraser tool.

The Adjustment Brush, Like the Graduated and Radial filters, can be used to make localized corrections but
does so without the use of a general mask area. It is possible to use an Auto Mask feature to help ensure the
changes don’t effect areas that should not be changed. In addition to size and feather, the brush has a
quality called flow. This can be understood as effecting how quickly the changes take place - at 0 they take
a long time, many strokes to show up, at 100, they show up almost immediately. It also has a density
setting.

The Red Eye (and Pet Eye) Tool allows the photographer to create a red eye effect (actually, making the
pupils look red. It also allows the photographer to create the same effect in the eyes of animals.

The Crop and Straighten Tool - This tool resizes the image, keeping a part of the image, and cutting off the
rest, either using a "rubber band" that can be dragged around an area, or using various choices from a
menu of ratios. It also provides a slider or an "angle icon" that can be dragged into the image to establish
what the photographer wants the horizontal horizon to be.

The Radial Filter Tool allows the photographer to make localized corrections and changes in photographs,
very similar to the graduated filter, except it acts on circular, or oval shaped areas. After you select the area
you can stretch the selected area, and you can overlap effectsapplied to different parts of the image.

4.
Question 4
There is a toolbar in the Developer Module, in the right panel below the Histogram, that has icons that
initiate the use of six of the most powerful and frequently used post-processing tools in Lightroom. Which
of the following descriptions is NOT an accurate description of one of those tools and how it works?
1 point

o The Radial Filter Tool allows the photographer to make localized corrections and changes in
photographs to specific areas, very similar to the graduated filter, except it acts on circular, or oval shaped
areas. After you select an area, you can stretch the selected area, horizontally or vertically. If you have not
pressed the "done" button, you can create a new radial mask, and select a different area of the image to be
effected (and different effects, if desired). You can also reverse the impact of any mask by using the invert
mask option. Instead of effecting everything within the selected area, it will effect everything except the
selected area.

o The Red Eye (and Pet Eye) Tool allows the photographer to create a red eye effect (actually, making the
pupils look red. It also allows the photographer to create the same effect in the eyes of animals.

o The Crop and Straighten Tool - This tool resizes the image, keeping a part of the image, and cutting off
the rest, either using a "rubber band" that can be dragged around an area, or using various choices from a

The Graduated Filter Tool is used to make localized corrections and changes to specific areas of our
photographs, that is, making corrections and changes to specific areas (and not others). It is particularly
useful for making one or more changes simultaneously, in a large area that goes from one side of the
photograph to the other, but it is possible to rotate the center line. Large rectangular areas, or polygonal
areas, or triangular areas work best. You choose an overlay line and the width of the gradual change that
takes places from the starting point to the center of the overlay.

The changes initiated by the graduated filter can be set in the menu next to Effects (most are similar to the
color temperature, basic, and sharpness panels) . Also by changing to the adjustment brush tool (as long as
the user hasn't clicked "done"), and choosing the erase option, you can remove areas from the mask
created by the graduated filter and those areas will not be effected by the changes initiated by the
graduated filter.
o The Spot Removal Tool - This tool allows you to choose one of two modes: clone or heal. You can select a
source area and select where to put it as the target area. Clone takes the source exacly; Healing averages
and makes the change more gradual. Healing is better for blending; cloning is better when you need exact
detail, texture, etc. Various settings allow you to modify the effect of the two modes.

6.
Question 6
In the Developer module, within the Basics panel, in the Presence component, sliding the Saturation slider

A collection is a kind of virtual folder, one that can bring together images from any range of different
directories, to be displayed and called up by clicking on its unique name (Note, collections only exist in
Lightroom - they don’t show up as directories on the hard disk). You can only access and create Collections
in the Library module, so you have to change to the Library Module from the Develop Module, if you want
to access or create a Collection.

Question 12
In the Develop Module, within the Detail Panel, there are controls for Sharpening and controls for Noise
Reduction. In Sharpening, amount has to do with intensity (Increasing amount too much can actually
introduce unwanted artifacts). Radius defines how far the sharpening extends, and it looks for areas of high
contrast. Detail generally has to do with how textured things look. Luminance can best be set by looking. In
general, sharpening for screen is different than for print, although both the export panel and the print
module allow you to specify which you want.

Question 14
Which of the following is NOT an accurate description of a component in the Basic Panel (in the Right Panel
of the Develop Module):

1 point

The Presence Panel allows the photographer to use sliders that effect the characteristics of the image in
terms of presence: The categories are Clarity, Vibrance, and Saturation. All of these characteristics help
create a higher degree of sharpness in the image.

The Treatment panel allows the photographer to choose color or blackwhite, and to either move an
eyedropper icon to pick a target spot in the image to use to adjust white balance, or it allows you to chose
from various options (As Shot, Auto, Custom). If the image was shot in Raw mode, you will see a menu of
options: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Flash, Custom from which you can choose.

The Temperature and Tint sliders allow you to adjust, via a slider, color temperature values for both within
the image.
The Tone Panel, allows the photographer to choose Auto to make adjustments to Tone categories, or to
adjust individual sliders. Each of these sliders changes a significant aspect of the photograph. Exposure
decreases the brightness of the overall exposure when pulled to the left, and increases brightness of the
overall exposusre when pulled to the right. Each slider works similarly for its corresponding characteristic:
Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks.

Question 1
In the following sequence of statements, either all are accurate (choose "True), or one is inaccurate
(choose "False).

In general, the genre of "still life" involves inanimate objects placed into a composed order, in a context,
with a background. Many different kinds of objects can be used - a random collection of objects taken from
everyday life - a collection of different colored feathers, books next to a watch on a table top, and so forth.
They can also sometimes involve people in the image.
1 / 1 point

False

True
Correct
All the statements are true except the last: still lives do not involve images of people, sometimes they
might involve dead animals or foul, but the name - if taken strictly, is thought to exclude people. In theory,
someone could try to create a still life with people, but in general, it would be seen as a portrait, and not a
still life.

Question 5
In making portraits, the focal length of the lens is an important choice. Most portrait photographers prefer
wide and super-wide angle lenses because of the depth of field and the flattering effect they have on the
face.
1 / 1 point

True

False
Correct
The first statement is accurate. Neither part of the second is accurate. Photographers generally prefer long
focal length lenses (70mm and more) for the seeming flatness they introduce, which is thought more
flattering to the face than the kinds of curvature and distortion that can be introduced with wide and ultra-
wide angle lenses. These lenses are rarely used, and then with great care being taken, to avoid having the
curvature and distortion effect the face or faces.

6.
Question 6
Most of the images in the "Manipulated Landscape" genre (or sub-genre) are created using post-processing
effects, like splitting the image into a positive and negative panel, or inserting fragments from the image of
a landscape scene back into the scene itself. Some multiple exposure overlays can be created in the
camera, but this is more exceptional, than part of the rule.

Question 7
The golden formula that ensures a good landscape photograph involves setting the f-stop to the highest
number (f/16 or f/22 or higher), finding the right distance to get the entire area in the frame, minimizig the
foreground, and using the fastest shutter speed you can use.
1 / 1 point

False

True
Correct
Using high f-stop numbers to get the maximum DOF is often one effective technique used to get a powerful
lanscape. Sometimes the hightest f-stop is not the sharpest image for a chosen focal range (see the section
on soft focus introduced by "diffraction' in the landscape video). Sometimes minimizing the foreground is
not necessary, and sometimes having an important item or person included in the foreground provides a
reference for size, distance, and scale that can set up the implied depth and scale of the image. Although
the choice of what is in the foreground may be of secondary importance, it isn't unimportant. The golden
rule also left out of of the most important choices: the choice of a focal point that emphasizes the
disticntness of your subject. Finally, many striking portraits are taken with slow shutter speeds, many
could be one or two minutes or more, so it is not necessary, at least when shooting with a tripod, to use
fairly fast shutter speeds (1/60th of a second and faster).

8.
Question 8
One of the most important choices in the creation of a still life have to do with how much space your
subject - the objects - take up in the frame, and how much space is left (sometimes, if dark, or shadowy,
that space, might be functional negative space).

Question 9
When taking photographic portraits, focus and depth of field are extremely important choices. Many

metering.

False

True
Correct
All three statements are accurate.

10.
Question 10
When shooting portraits of the face, many photographs strive to have everything in the frame in the
sharpest possible focus. Other photographers use low f-stops (f/1.4 etc.) to get the bokeh and blurred
background that helps isolate and emphasize the subject, In these photos, the eyes might be sharply in
focus, but the nose and cheeks softly blurred. Although most photographers, creating portraits, choose to
have the eyes sharply in focus, both approaches outlined above can be effective.

Most "tableau" images call on you to use your portrait photography skills, your landscape (and/or

14.
Question 14
Still life images can effectively use either hard, direct lighting or soft, indirect lighting. Which will be
appropriate depends on the objects, the intended order, and the desired emotional ambience - hard
lighting lends itself to certain kinds of dramatic effects, or austerity and roughness; soft, diffuse lighting
can be more suggestive, elegant, smooth and so forth. Ultimately, the choice of lighting is crucial to
creating the photographer's intended concept, and cannot be evaluated independently of that concept.

facial features become smaller in each of these three, all are used for portraits, of individuals and groups.
1.
Question 1
When working with ambient light, although this is true when working with studio light as well, one
important choice has to do with how close your subject is to your light source. If you are working with
people, or things, you can move them closer to the source, or further away, to effect changes in the quality
of the light. It is important to remember the "inverse square law" and keep in mind, that each step away,
the light decreases even more dramatically, and each step toward the source, leads to an even brigher
source.

Question 2
There are three things that can happen when light moves from a source and hits a surface:

1. It reflects. (Reflection) - Light hits the surface and bounces off (There are two types of reflection: specular
reflection - when light bounces off of smooth surfaces; diffuse reflection - when light bounces of of tetured
surfaces).

2. It is absorbed. (Absorption) - Light hits a surface and is absorbed, converted to heat.

3. It passes through. (Transmission): Light hits a surface and passes through.

Question 3
In the following sequence, if all statements are true, mark it "True", if one is false, mark it "False."

Color is a product of both the source of light and reflected light that hits our eyes. White is the result of
almost all wavelengths of light being reflected back to our eye; black is a result of almost all the
wavelengths being absorbed. Other colors are in between: some wavelengths are reflected back, in
degrees, as some wavelengths are absorbed in various degrees. The colors of light are said to have a
temperature that goes from "hotter" red colors, and their temperatures (like the light in fires, candle light,
etc to "cooler blue colors, and their temperatures (like the light in the shade, or on an LCD screen). All of
these factors of color temperature are conditions that photographers cannot control.

Quality - Whether the light is soft, indirect, and diffused, or hard, direct, and sharp

Quantity - Whether there is one or many sources of light

Intensity - Whether the light is very bright, or just bright, or dim, or actually quite dark

Color - the temperature of the colors, both reflected and absorbed

5.
Question 5
Color is a result of a source of light, and of how that light is absorbed and reflected as it travels from the
source. Different wavelengths of light (electromagnetic radiation, or visible light, the part of the spectrum
eyes can respond to) are reflected and absorbed in different ways, and the specific configuration of
absorbtion and reflection produces a "color'.

6.
Question 6
Certain times of day are associated with certain qualities of light. The Golden Hour is the hour (roughly)
right after sunrise and right before sunset. When the sun is near the horizon, sunlight travels through a
greater depth of atmosphere, reducing the intensity of the direct light, so that more of the illumination
comes from indirect light from the sky, reducing the lighting ratio. More blue light is scattered, so if the sun
is present, its light appears more reddish. In addition, the sun's small angle with the horizon produces
longer shadows. Less technically, this time is renowned for its lush "golden" cast.

Question 8
In landscape photography, the influence of the time of day on the quality of light can influence the color of

Correct. His website is www.peterglendinning.com. He decided not to add photography to his website
name for two reasons. First, his name is so long that the website name was lengthy enough with just that!
Second, he is not in the wedding photography or other type of photo business where he would be hoping
for calls for wedding or other photography from people he has not met before. Adding the word
"photography" to a website name encourages those kinds of clients, and he does not provide the services

Correct
Correct. Copyright comes into existence at the moment that an "author's" work of creative endeavor is
fixed in a tangible form. The creation of a record of the "0's" and "1's" on the memory card at the moment
of exposure is sufficiently tangible in form to have the copyright arise at that moment.

1 point

False.

True.

11.
Question 11
"Second Curtain Flash" is a setting that:
1 point

triggers the strobe/flash at the beginning of the exposure time.

prevents the strobe/flash from emitting light until the middle of the exposure time.

prevents the strobe/flash from emitting light until just before the shutter begins to cover the sensor at the
end of exposure.

12.
Question 12
"Slow Sync" is a setting that is often used:
1 point

when the scene has a dimly lit background requiring a longer shutter speed, and a foreground subject that
will be lit by the strobe/flash.

when the scene has a very brightly lit background requiring a fast shutter speed, and a foreground subject
that will be lit by the strobe/flash.
