Q

What F-stop creates a deep depth of field and what F-stop creates a shallow depth of field

A

To create a deep depth of field you use a high F-stop like F18
To create a shallow depth of field you use a low F-stop like F5.6
A lower F-number (F5.6) means a larger relative aperture and more light entering the lens, while a higher F-number (F18) means a smaller relative aperture and less light entering the lens.

18
Q

What does symmetry do in a photo

A

Symmetry defines something being clean, proportional and balanced and will make pictures appear neat, tidy and clinical.

19
Q

What are the different camera functions and what do they do

A

Portrait - blurry background - subject in focus (shallow depth of field)
Landscape - in focus background - wide angle view ( deep depth of field)
Macro - detailed close up
Motion - captures movement within a photo
Night - brightens photos taken at night.

What is the different types of equipment

A

Tripod
Diffuser
Reflector

Q

Diffuser

A

Diffusers soften light which helps create a gentler shadow

Q

Tripod

A

Useful for long exposure shots as it reduces the amount of camera shake

Q

Vignetting

A

31
Q

Exposure compensation

A

Exposure Compensation allows a photographer to adjust the exposure level of an image, making it either brighter or darker to correct for overexposure or underexposure.
