B.By including foreground, middle ground, and background elements
C.By increasing the ISO
D.By using a fast shutter speed
Solution
Depth can be created by including elements at different distances from the camera, which helps to create a sense of three-dimensionality in the image.
Correct Answer: B — By including foreground, middle ground, and background elements
Q. What does the term 'framing' refer to in photography composition?
A.The use of a physical frame around the photograph
B.Using elements within the scene to create a frame around the subject
C.Adjusting the camera settings to frame the subject correctly
D.The process of cropping an image in post-processing
Solution
Framing involves using elements in the scene, such as branches or windows, to create a 'frame' around the subject, drawing attention to it.
Correct Answer: B — Using elements within the scene to create a frame around the subject
Q. What is the effect of using a shallow depth of field in composition?
A.Everything in the image is in focus
B.The background is blurred, isolating the subject
C.The image appears darker
D.The colors become more vibrant
Solution
A shallow depth of field blurs the background while keeping the subject in focus, helping to isolate it and draw attention.
Correct Answer: B — The background is blurred, isolating the subject
Q. What is the golden ratio in photography composition?
A.A method of adjusting ISO settings
B.A mathematical ratio that creates aesthetically pleasing compositions
C.A technique for balancing light and shadow
D.A way to determine the best shutter speed
Solution
The golden ratio is a mathematical ratio, approximately 1.618, that is often used to create visually appealing compositions by placing subjects at specific points.
Correct Answer: B — A mathematical ratio that creates aesthetically pleasing compositions
Q. What is the primary goal of composition in photography?
A.To capture as much detail as possible
B.To create a visually appealing and effective image
C.To use the highest resolution settings
D.To follow all technical rules strictly
Solution
The primary goal of composition is to arrange elements in a way that creates a visually appealing and effective image that communicates the intended message.
Correct Answer: B — To create a visually appealing and effective image
Q. What is the purpose of using negative space in composition?
A.To fill the frame with as much detail as possible
B.To create a sense of balance and focus on the subject
C.To distract the viewer from the main subject
D.To increase the exposure of the image
Solution
Negative space refers to the area around and between the subject(s) in a photo, and it helps to create balance and emphasize the main subject.
Correct Answer: B — To create a sense of balance and focus on the subject
Q. What is the rule of thirds in photography composition?
A.Dividing the frame into three equal parts vertically and horizontally
B.Using three different focal lengths in a single shot
C.Taking three photos of the same subject from different angles
D.Adjusting the exposure three times for a single image
Solution
The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines, and placing the subject along these lines or their intersections.
Correct Answer: A — Dividing the frame into three equal parts vertically and horizontally
Q. Which composition technique emphasizes symmetry?
A.Asymmetrical balance
B.Radial balance
C.Golden ratio
D.Symmetrical balance
Solution
Symmetrical balance occurs when elements on either side of the frame are arranged equally, creating a sense of harmony and stability.
Correct Answer: D — Symmetrical balance
Q. Which composition technique involves leading the viewer's eye through the image?
A.Framing
B.Leading lines
C.Symmetry
D.Negative space
Solution
Leading lines are lines within the image that lead the viewer's eye to the main subject or deeper into the scene.
Correct Answer: B — Leading lines
Q. Which composition technique involves using contrasting elements to create interest?
A.Contrast
B.Harmony
C.Repetition
D.Alignment
Solution
Contrast in composition refers to the use of opposing elements, such as light and dark or large and small, to create visual interest and draw attention.
