/25 plus 3 possible bonus marks
You can see my SharePoint Page example here. You're page and look like this, just type the answers below each question. I'll give you a bonus mark if you enter your answers with a different font colour! It makes it easier for me to see your answers.
The exposure triangle is a fundamental concept in photography that explains the relationship between three key components of exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
These three elements work together to control the amount of light that enters the camera and reaches the image sensor. Understanding the exposure triangle is essential for achieving proper exposure and creative control over your images.
Aperture refers to the size of the opening in the lens through which light passes.
Shutter speed determines the length of time that the camera's shutter remains open.
ISO, on the other hand, refers to the camera's sensitivity to light.
By adjusting these three elements, photographers can create a range of effects, such as blurred motion, shallow depth of field, and low-light images. Mastering the exposure triangle is a crucial step towards achieving technical proficiency and artistic vision in photography.
