What is aperture in photography?

• The measure of how long the shutter of your camera is open.

• The measure of how open or closed the iris (hole in the lens) of the camera.

• The sensitivity or the post image grain in your sensor.

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

What is the artistic use of aperture?

• 
  Depth of field

• Exposure control

• Color enhancement

• 
  Motion blur

What does a larger f-stop number indicate for aperture?

• Brighter exposure

  (More Light)/shallow depth of field

• More motion blur

• Darker exposure (Less Light)/wider depth of field

What is shutter speed in photography?

• The measure of how open or closed the iris (hole) of your lens is.

• The measure of how long the shutter of your camera is open.

• The sensitivity or the post image grain in your sensor.

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

What is the artistic use of shutter speed?

• Motion Blur

• Depth of Field

• Color Enhancement

• Contrast Enhancement

What does a fast shutter speed indicate?

• Less motion blur/Darker Exposure

• More motion blur/Brighter Exposure

• Shallow Depth of Field

• Brighter exposure

What is ISO in photography?

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

• 
  The measure of how long the shutter of your camera is open.

• The depth of field of your photograph.

• The measure of how open or closed the iris (hole) of your lens is.

What is the artistic use of ISO?

• Depth of field

• 
  Exposure control

• 
  Sensitivity (Grain)

• 
  Motion blur

What does a high ISO indicate?

• Darker exposure and less grainy image

• Shallower Depth of Field

• Brighter exposure and more grainy image

• More Motion Blur

What can be achieved with long shutter speeds in photography?

• 
  Capturing light trails and star photos; Motion Blur

• 
  Freezing time

• Shallow depth of field

• 
  Darker exposure and less grainy image
