2. A higher f-stop allows less light to enter the camera
3. The shorter the exposure the less time light has to get into a shot.
4. The longer an exposure allows more time for light to enter a shot.
5. The painting with light worked well after we figured out how to write it backwards.

Bracketing Assignment

1. Which setting worked the best? 
The f-stop function worked the best in allowing the most light into a shot.
2. Which setting did not work at all?
Every function worked like they were supposed to.
3. Did this exercise help you understand f/stops better? how?
This exercise allowed me to see that the smaller the f-stop the more light that gets into the shot and the larger the f-stop the more focused on the subject the picture is.
​4. If you want to increase the depth of field in a scene and keep the same level of exposure, what are your options?
You would keep the iso constant while increasing the f-stop.
