Q

What is the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO in the exposure triangle?

A

They work together to determine the final exposure of an image.

17
Q

What is the purpose of the exposure triangle?

A

To balance aperture, shutter speed, and ISO for optimal exposure.

18
Q

What is the depth of field?

A

The range of distance in an image that appears sharp.

19
Q

How does aperture affect the depth of field?

A

A larger aperture results in a shallower depth of field.

20
Q

How does shutter speed affect motion blur?

A

Faster shutter speeds reduce motion blur.

21
Q

How does ISO affect image quality?

A

Higher ISO settings can introduce more noise, reducing image quality.

22
Q

What is the Sunny 16 Rule?

A

A guideline for outdoor photography that suggests setting aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to the reciprocal of the ISO for proper exposure.

23
Q

What is the best way to achieve proper exposure in photography?

A

Balancing aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve the desired exposure.
