A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. contrast pixels highlights shadows None 11. After exposure, a histogram shows pixels only towards the left side of the graph with the highest point at the extreme left. Which of the following would this histogram indicate? Overexposure High contrast Underexposure Low contrast None 12. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Calibration disc PC cord Dome Flat disc None 13. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor Exposures equal to the ISO None 14. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed contrast, color harmony and tonal range ISO, camera mode and shutter speed highlights, shadows and mid tones None 15. The technique for capturing relatively sharp images of a motorcycle rider by tracking the movement of the rider during a slow shutter speed exposure is known as Hyperfocal distance Panning Cumulative exposure Tilt-shifting None 16. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured?

Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F8 @ 125 F11 @ 250 F11 @ 60 F8 @ 250 None 19. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To "freeze" a moving object To increase the depth of field To "blur" a moving objec To use a slower shutter speed None 20. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F5.6 @ 125 F8 @ 125 F16 @ 125 F11 @ 125 None 21. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously To measure the light reflecting off the subject To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions None 22. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/15 F8 @ 1/8 F16 @ 1/8 None 23. An incident light meter reads light ratios. reflected from a subject. falling on the dome of the meter. reflected from the ambient source. None 24. An incident meter measures F8 with a subscipt number indicating 9/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F11 F9.5 F9 F8 None 25. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? 18% gray card clothing spot meter skin tones None 26. Which line has the f-stops in the correct order? 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 27.
