because the overall exposure is more even
The correct answer is:
because the overall exposure is more even
During the golden hour, the lighting conditions are softer and more diffused due to the sun being closer to the horizon. This lower angle of light creates longer shadows and a more even distribution of light across the scene. As a result, there is a reduced contrast between the foreground and background, making it easier to capture more depth in both areas of the photograph.
The correct answer is: "because the overall exposure is more even."
During the golden hour, which is the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, the lighting conditions are more optimal for photography. The softer and warmer light during this time of day creates a more even distribution of light, resulting in reduced harsh shadows and better exposure throughout the scene. This even lighting allows for more details and depth to be captured in both the foreground and background of the photographs.

The correct answer is:
shutter speed
When trying to capture action shots, the most important setting for Carl to consider is the shutter speed. A fast shutter speed will freeze the motion and help to capture the athletes in sharp detail, while a slower shutter speed may result in motion blur. By adjusting the shutter speed, Carl can control how much movement is captured in his images and ensure that he captures the action effectively.

The correct answer is:
near a window
Setting up the still life composition near a window is a good choice for Allie because it provides natural light that is often more forgiving and diffused compared to artificial lighting. The window allows for softer and more even lighting, which can enhance the quality of the still life photograph. The direction and intensity of the light can also be controlled by positioning the subject and the camera in relation to the window.
