Photography Final Flashcards
Areas of the sensor that receive the most light in exposure, have the lightest pixels in the final image file
T
Each change of f-stop to the next highest number reduces the exposure
T
The longer the focal length of the lens, the narrower the angle of view
T
The longer the focal length of the lens in any given situation, the smaller will be the depth of field
T
“Second Curtain Flash” means the flash light is emitted just before a shutter’s second curtain closes
T
A “B” setting permits the shutter to remain open as long as the photographer desires
T
The higher the ISO, the less the light necessary for proper exposure
T
The higher the ISO, the more “grainy” the final picture will appear
T
What is the f-stop sequence?
2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16
The longer the focal length of the lens, the more the distances in the scene will appear “compressed”
T
Reflected light meters are calibrated to a tonal value known as “middle gray”
T
“Manual” exposure mode means that the photographer selects both shutter and aperture setting
T
A fisheye lens has a very wide angle of view, up to 180 degrees
T
A “megabyte” is approximately 1 million bytes
T
A “gigabyte” is approximately 1 billion bytes
T
“Resolution” of an image is a measure of the fineness of detail in the image
T
A JPEG file is subject to loss of information each time it is opened and closed
T
A TIFF file may be opened and closed without loss of information
T
JPEG files are one kind that can be processed by the computer in the camera
T
CCD stands for Charged Coupled Device
T
What is the shutter equivalent of each f-stop?
1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8
The sensor is prepared for exposure by positively charging all its gates
T
Red, green, and blue are the Additive Primary colors
T
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are the Subtractive Primary colors
T
The standard resolution for a computer screen is 72 ppi
T
“PPI” stands for pixels per inch
T
A Photoshop Image Adjustment +25 Brightness, -25 Contrast will yield a lighter, lower contrast picture
T
“Metadata” for a picture file often includes the ISO setting at the moment of exposure
T
“Burning in” a picture in Photoshop means adding darkness to an area
T
Perspective is the word used to describe the rendering of near/far distances by the lens
T
A black and white print is also sometimes referred to as a “monochrome” print
T
An “implied line” is invisible
T

What are some compositional aspects to critique?
