A,B

Early morning and late afternoon provide soft, warm light with longer shadows that creates flattering effects for outdoor photography. At noon, the sun is directly overhead creating harsh shadows and high contrast, while night lacks natural light. Golden hour after sunrise and before sunset is ideal.

By keeping high shutter speed
-
By using variable length
-
By keeping the camera in tripod
-
None of the above
A,C
Correct answer
Explanation
Camera shake causes blur from movement during exposure. Higher shutter speeds freeze motion (reducing shake blur), and tripods stabilize the camera completely. Variable length lens is not a solution, and 'None of the above' is incorrect since both A and C are valid methods.

C
Correct answer
Explanation
Multiple exposure in photography involves exposing the same frame of film multiple times to create layered images. This technique allows photographers to superimpose different scenes or subjects in a single photograph. It's not about clicking different pictures with the same exposure, nor is it a non-existent term.
