 (11)  Write short note about white balance.                  (4 marks)

White balance is a function on camera which helps to set the electronics of the camera so that they see colors accurately. Each time you change the environment or condition of the light the white balance need also to set.

(12) Explain briefly what Is Shutter Speed? (4 marks)

The shutter is like a window shade behind the camera lens. When you take a picture, the shutter opens briefly to allow light to enter through the lens and strike the camera‘s image sensor. Shutter speed refers to how long the shutter remains open. The slower the shutter speed, the more light the sensor

 (13) Explain briefly what Is the Aperture? (4 marks)

The aperture is an iris in the lens that can be adjusted in size to control how much light enters through the lens. Aperture size is represented by f-numbers and written with the letter f followed by a slash and the f-number—for example f/2.8.

 (16)  . Explain how do you shoot a blurry background by considering camera modes and lens types. (10marks)

The idea behind this technique is to limit your depth of field and only focus on your subject. The way to do this is by setting your camera to aperture priority mode and use a wide aperture ( f1.4 – f4 ), you may also use portrait mode.

 (17) What is image stabilization, and explain three system How can you avoid camera shaking? (10marks)

When the camera shakes, the whole image will become blurred. There is an advanced system in the modern camera lenses that provides Image Stabilizing. But it is, of course, expensive.

To stop camera shaking, you also can use a Tripod, a remote shutter, and block the mirror and achieve similar results.

Section III: attempt any one (1 ) out of two questions.        15 Marks

 

18. Discuss the importance of using a tripod when shooting DHR .

 Answer: HDR Photography is all about capturing three different types of images and merging them together which brings out amazing contrasts in your photos. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and for this HDR image is commonly made by taking three photos of the same scene each in a different shutter speeds. And it should be better to use tripod while shooting HDR photograph for different purposes and make sure that it doesn‘t move. Importance of using a tripod when shooting in HDR photographs  It is recommended to use a tripod while shooting a HDR photographs inü order to ensure a stable shot. This means that if you are shooting HDR you have to fix your tripod properly so that you will get the shot which is stable without any shaking and a tripod will reduce camera movement and improves picture quality.  In shooting HDR photographs, tripod will help us to capture a movingü subject easily. Due to the nature of HDR and exposure, if there is no tripod it will not be easy to get final shot perfect.  When we are shooting HDR photographs, a tripod will help us to get anü image in good depth of field. This means that a tripod will do an influence of keeping aperture properly the same between the shots.  To use a tripod when shooting HDR photographs, it affords stability to theü camera and avoids camera shake by the operator in those situations where longer exposure times are necessary. So we should remember to always use a tripod to get the best professional results from HDR photography. Using a tripod will also make it much easier in workflow and post-production as well.

19. Discuss the change in perspective of picture due to the use of different type of lenses.

Answer: Perspective is a warping or transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs significantly from what the object would look like with a normal focal length, due to the relative scale of nearby and distant features.  Wide -angle lens(with an angle of view wider than a normal lens) refers to

· a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane. Objects close to the lens appear abnormally large relative to more distant objects, and distant objects appear abnormally small and hence farther away distances are extended  Zoom lens: There are two types of lenses-prime and zoom.

Prime lenses

· have a fixed focal length and zoom lenses have variable focal lengths. The advantage of the zoom lens is its versatility. Using a zoom lens also reduces the number of times you need to change the lens which saves time and limits the possibility of getting dust in the camera's mirror box or on the sensor.

 Long lens or Telephoto lens (with an angle of view narrower than a normal· lens) Distant objects look approximately the same size – closer objects are abnormally small, and more distant objects are abnormally large, and hence the viewer cannot discern relative distances between distant objects – distances are compressed.
