Photography Exposure Triangle Mastery 3

Question 1

Which combination is most likely to cause camera shake blur in a handheld shot?

Accepted Answer

1/30s, f/2.8, ISO 3200

Answer

1/30s is well below the safe handholding threshold for most focal lengths, making camera shake blur very likely.

Question 2

What happens to depth of field as you stop down your aperture from f/2 to f/16?

Accepted Answer

It increases

Answer

Stopping down to a smaller aperture (higher f-number) increases depth of field, bringing more of the scene into acceptable focus.

Question 3

A sports photographer needs to freeze a fast athlete. Which exposure setting is the highest priority to adjust?

Accepted Answer

Shutter speed

Answer

Shutter speed directly controls motion freeze; a fast shutter like 1/1000s or higher is needed to stop athlete movement.

Question 4

What is 'exposure reciprocity' in practical shooting terms?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining equivalent exposure by adjusting two or more triangle elements together

Answer

Exposure reciprocity means you can keep the same brightness by adjusting ISO, aperture, and shutter speed in complementary ways.

Question 5

ISO 200 is how many stops more sensitive than ISO 100?

Accepted Answer

One stop

Answer

Doubling ISO (100→200) represents exactly one stop increase in sensor sensitivity.
