1: To prove that photography was indeed an art, and not just a craft, photographers at first imitated the painting of the time. True False 2: The 35-mm camera by Oskar Barnack of the Ernst Leitz company was also known as the "candid" camera. True False 3: Photography has been used to document many important historical events including World War II and the Great Depression. True False 4: One of the advantages of digital photography is that images created cannot be manipulated or changed and will be saved permanently in an inalterable state. True False 5: A photogram, created as a sketching device for artists, consisted of a small, lightproof box with a pinhole or lens on one side and a translucent screen on the opposite side. True False 6: Sir John Herschel discovered in 1819 that hyposulfite of soda was suitable as a fixing agent for sensitized paper images. True False 7: The daguerreotype was reproducible and could be used to produce images intended for mass distribution. True False 8: The calotype's paper negative made possible the reproduction of photographic images. True False 9: The Calotype Method, also known as the "wet plate" technique, involved coating a glass plate with silver iodide in suspension, exposing it while still wet, and developing it immediately. True False 10: By the last quarter of the 19th cent. most households could boast respectable photographic collections. These were in three main forms: the family album, scrapbooks, and boxes of stereoscope cards. True False 11: George Eastman's first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888. True False 12: George Eastman developed the Brownie, a simple and very inexpensive box camera that introduced the concept of the snapshot. True False 13: The Polaroid Model 95 was the world's first viable instant-picture camera. True False 14: The first fully practical color film, Autochrome, did not reach the market until 1907. True False 15: Black and white film is made up of a chemical mixture protected by a thin plastic layer. This chemical mixture is called a blend. True False 16: Energy from the sun comes to the Earth in visible and invisible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Human eyes are sensitive to a large portion of that spectrum that includes visible and some invisible colors. True False 17: Advertising photography, photojournalism, editorial photography, and fine art photography are all considered types of commercial photography. True False 18: Color depth is the overall accuracy with which the colors in the photograph match or are capable of matching those in the original scene. True False 19: A bitmap is a card containing chips that store images. True False 20: Pixelization is an effect seen when you enlarge a digital image too much making the pixels more noticeable. True False 21: Natural light generally refers to daylight and artificial light is illumination produced by man. True False 22: Sidelighting occurs when the main source of illumination is behind the subject, shining in the direction of the camera. True False 23: The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) was founded in 1946 in the U.S., and has approximately 10,000 members. True False 24: Street photography is also known as "Straight Photography," implying it is the pure vision of something that was, like holding up a mirror to society. True False 25: An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light is admitted. True False 26: A device called a lens usually serves as the aperture stop, and controls the aperture. True False 27: A light source's color temperature is determined by comparing its hue with a theoretical, heated black-body radiator. True False 28: The depth of field (DOF) is the distance in front of and behind the subject which appears to be in focus. True False 29: Larger cameras have deeper depth of field than smaller cameras. True False 30: Filters on a camera lens, or color gels over the light source(s) can be used to correct color balance. True False

1. Take your own test.
2. The link included will answer all your questions!
3. Nice questions, you should have paid attention in class. I will help you though with a couple. 3,11,12, & 28 are true.
4. Is this a joke or something? If so I give up, whats the punch line?
5. Hmmmm This looks to me like you are a student in High School taking a photography course. Since you chose not to pay attention in class I think you should get an "F" in your grade. Get out a book and read if not just drop out of the course. Answering your questions here so you can pass a test is not going to help you and that goes for everything in life. You have to work hard to achieve! Kevin
6. Dang, I hate pop tests....I gotta go study now.
7. If someone is stuck with a problem or two, I may offer an answer, or, at least, guide them to a site that may help them find the answer for themselves. But I will be DAMNED if I will do their homework for them!
8. 20 bucks a question, I'll do it for you.
