2019 final exam study sheet
Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.
The word photography comes from two ancient Greek words: photo, for “light,” and graph, for “drawing.” “Drawing with light” is a way of describing photography.
A photograph can be a portrait, selfie, street scene, still life, a historical document that is frozen time, a landscape, and much more.
Camera: An optical device for taking photographs, generally consisting of a lightproof enclosure having an opening or aperture with a shuttered lens through which the image of an object is focused and recorded on a photosensitive film, plate, or a sensor in digital photography.
Line: A line is a path left by a moving point. A continuous mark on a surface.
A lens was added to a camera obscura to project a sharply focused image.
A shutter is the part of a camera that controls the length of time that light is allowed to enter the camera
A viewfinder is the part of a camera that allows the photographer to view the image that will be captured when the photo is taken.
Correct exposure is an image that is not too dark and not too light. This is achieved by letting the right amount of light (controlled by aperture) collect on the sensor or film for the right length of time, which is controlled by the how long shutter is open.
To store the images taken by a digital single lens reflex camera, we usually use an SD card
The part of a camera that allows the photographer to view the image that will be captured when the photo is taken is the viewfinder
The part of a camera that controls the amount of light collecting on the sensor or film is
the aperture
The part of a camera that controls the length of time light is collected the sensor or film is
the shutter
Know which aperture opening or f/stop is physically larger or smaller
In this class, photos that are being sent via e-mail should be saved as a JPEG
Know which shutter speed is slower or faster
In this class, we sent an email with the photo included as an attachment
If you were taking a photo of a running dog, and you wanted to stop or freeze the action, your best shutter speed would be a fast shutter speed like 1/500.
In a digital camera, the photographic image is captured by a sensor
Light enters the lens of a camera and is collected on a sensor or or film as long as the shutter is open.
In this class, when you have finished a Photoshop document, it is the best practice to save it
in your documents folder
When using the rule of thirds, important compositional elements should be placed near the imaginary lines and points and where the lines intersect.
Draw the rule of thirds inside an empty rectangle
Using the DSLR worksheet, label the missing parts of a digital camera.
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex
What three photographic terms describe “The Exposure Triangle”?
Aperture, shutter speed and ISO
The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive your camera is to light.
If you use a wide aperture, the depth of field will be shallow.
An aperture of f/2 will produce less depth of field than f/16.
If you want to create a blurry motion image, a good shutter speed would be ½ second.
A photograph that is mostly very light to all white is called high key.
