Quiz Time

So far I have covered some pretty in depth lessons on shutter speed and aperture.  To be sure you've got these concepts wrapped around your noggin, I've come up with a quiz of sorts to test your handle on these newly acquired skills.  So, get out your #2 lead pencil.  Quiz time begins now...

Question #1

Which of the following three aperture settings was used to make the following image?

a) f/16

b) f/2.8

c) f/8

Question #2

You're out hiking at Yosemite National Park when you come across a beautiful brook at your feet.  Thinking it doesn't get any better than this, you raise your eyes toward heaven to breathe a sigh of thanks when you catch glimpse of the breathtaking mountain caps in front of you.  Not wanting to lose this memory, you grab your camera to take a couple shots.  

Only there's a major problem: You only have one exposure left.  You've got no choice but to compose your shot so that BOTH the bubbling brook and the far off mountain caps appear tack sharp in your image. You don't want to lose the tiniest of details.  You want to remember it all.  Which aperture do you choose?

a) f/22

b) f/1.4

c) f/5.6

Question #3

The following images were made using:

a) a slow shutter speed

b) a fast shutter speed
