Ans To the Question #1

In photography, exposure is the amount of light that reaches your camera sensor or film. It is a
crucial part of how bright or dark your pictures appear. There are only two camera settings that
affect the actual luminous exposure of an image: shutter speed and aperture. The third setting,
camera ISO, also affects the brightness of your photos, and it is equally important to understand.
Also, you can brighten or darken a photo by editing it in post-processing software like Photoshop
on your computer.

And exposure is the amount of light that reaches the sensor of the camera when taking a
photograph. It is the process of adjusting the perfect lighting for the photograph. The exposure is
controlled by the three components of the camera which balances the light. They are shutter
speed, ISO, and aperture. The amount of exposure is indicated by a meter: (-3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3)
The numbers are stops. The higher the number, the brighter the photo, and the lower the number
the darker the photo. Zero indicates perfect light or correct exposure. It will give us a properly
balanced light in the photograph.

(-2 stops) Under Exposure (0 stops) Perfect Exposure (+2 stops)Over Exposure

The first photo is very dark. The details of the subject are not visible in the low light. This
means, the aperture was higher (small aperture size) and the shutter speed was high. The second
photo is much better to see because the light is well enough for the picture. The subject detail is
very clear in the second. In the third photo, there is too much light. The details of the subject are
visible but the details of the background are not due to the high amount of light. In this photo, the
aperture is low, and also the shutter. When the shutter is low it takes a lighter in the photo that’s
why the white balance is very Hight.

Ans To the Question #2

Depth of field is one of the most important concepts in photography. The range of distances of
the object in front of an image-forming device (such as a camera lens) is measured along the axis
of the device throughout which the image has acceptable sharpness. So, the Depth of field is the
distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now
your camera can only focus sharply at one point. And without getting too technical, how you will
be viewing the image, and at what size you will be looking at it are factors that contribute to how
acceptably sharp an image is. It also depends on how good your vision is. Three main factors
which control depth of field are: aperture, distance of the camera from the subject and focal
length of the lens of the camera. Deep depth of field is when the image has a very large zone of
focus. Shallow depth of field is when the image has a very small zone of focus.
1. Shallow Depth of Field 2. Deep Depth of Field

Depth of field is controlled by the aperture. Lower aperture (larger aperture size) puts the subject
in the photo more in focus and blurs the background. The lower aperture gives a photo smaller
zone of focus (shallow depth of field). Higher aperture (smaller aperture size) puts the subject
and background both in clear focus.

Ans To the Question #3


The best time of day to take photos is a couple of hours after sunrise and a couple of hours before
sunset. Within that time, it is better to shoot after the morning golden hour or before the evening
golden hour. In the morning after 2 hours from sunrise and phase, two occurs before 2 hours
before sunset. It is a good time to take a photo because, during this golden hour, the sun gives off
a beautiful natural light with a warm color tone and yellowish or golden tint. The sun is low in
the sky and the shadows are softer as well. This gives the photo a beautiful glow, makes the
photo look much more appealing including the subject in the photo, in comparison to regular
natural and artificial lighting.
