Question 2: Explain how changing the aperture affects the depth of field in a photograph.

Answer: A larger aperture (smaller f-number) creates a shallow depth of field, blurring the background and foreground, which isolates the subject. A smaller aperture (larger f-number) results in a greater depth of field, keeping more of the scene in focus.

Question 3: Look at the following photograph (example artwork). Describe the composition techniques used and how they contribute to the overall effect.

Answer: The photograph uses the rule of thirds, placing the main subject off-center, which creates visual interest. The leading lines guide the viewer’s eye toward the subject, and the use of lighting enhances the mood.

Question 1: Scenario: You want to take a portrait outside on a bright sunny day. Describe at least three camera settings you would adjust to get a good photo, considering lighting and subject clarity.

Answer: I would set a small aperture (large f-number) to avoid overexposure, increase the shutter speed to freeze motion and reduce glare, and lower the ISO to minimize graininess. I might also use a fill flash or reflector if needed.
