1. Describe how the aperture setting of a camera relates
to the exposure of the images.
Define camera’s aperture setting; it controls the area over which light can
pass through the camera lens. The exposure of the images relates to the
aperture because the aperture determines how light or dark an image and
subjects or objects that will appear or captured by the camera. Also it has several
effects on the photographs as the aperture changes in size, alters the overall
amount of light or the brightness of the image that reaches the camera sensor.
Therefore, the aperture controls how much the light is recorded in an
image as well as the depth of field (the image of distance over which objects
appear in sharp focus). Meaning the larger the aperture, the more light is
recorded and the lower of depth of field. Lastly, the smaller of the aperture, it is
less light to be recorded and the greater of the depth of field

2. Describe how the shutter speed affects the exposure of

images.
Shutter speed simply refers to the amount of time that the camera’s
shutter is open and allows us to freeze or blur the motion. It affects the exposure
of image by referring on how long this light is permitted to enter the camera or
controls the camera’s sensor is exposed to light. It is a powerful tool for the
exposure of images that helps for freezing or exaggerating the subject image.
Also the shutter speed is responsible for the appearance of motion in the
photo, if the shutter speed is too fast the outcome is under-exposed or too dark,
and if it’s too slow it will be an over-exposed or too bright. Simply, shutter speed
affects the image quality or the impression of motion in an image or the
movement of a subject that captured and lastly, the ambient exposure of an
image.

3. Describe the uses of back lighting, side lighting and

front lighting to crime scene photography.
Backlighting is used to emphasize an image to point out its details more
and create a dramatic effect on the picture. It also used to create a tree-
dimensional scene where in it can be a very effective tool if it used skilfully. Also,
it faces the subject or -a little higher from behind so as to separate the subject
from the background.
Side lighting is used to emphasize sharp lines and to emphasize or outline
the sharp and smooth edges of an image.
 Front lighting is used in portraits to emphasize front features of an object
or of a person. The key light must usually the first to be set up, even if you going
for a complicated multi-setup.
Therefore, these lightings are used to capture an accurate and proper
exposure of an image that can enhance the quality and impression of an object
image or the physical evidences in the crime scene.

4. Illustrate the developing process of a film and the photo

paper.
Photographic processing or photographic development is the chemical
means by which photographic film or paper is treated after photographic
exposure to produce a negative or positive image. Photographic processing
transforms the latent image into a visible image, makes this permanent and
renders it insensitive to light. All processes based upon the gelatine-silver
process are similar, regardless of the film or paper's manufacturer. Exceptional
variations include instant films such as those made by Polaroid and thermally
developed films.
All photographic processing is use as the series of chemical baths.
Processing, especially the development stages, requires very close control of
temperature, agitation and time.

5. How does the film speed affect the image exposure?

Film speed is the major marker between the differences in film types. It
has three types of speed; slow speed film, fast speed film and high speed film.
These three types of speed film affect the image exposure. First, slow speed film
this requires a plenty of light and it is normally recommended for clear and sunny
days. Second, fast speed film it has a larger grain size in the light sensitive
material when compared to slow film. Fast speed film requires less light for a
proper exposure of the image and may result in visible grain on the photographic
prints. Lastly, high speed film the speed of this film has a great outcome of an
image exposure when it is utilized for indoor activities particularly fast moving
activities.

6. How is ultraviolet light used in forensic photography?

Ultraviolet (UV) light is define as a type of electromagnetic radiation or
electromagnetic spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. Ultraviolet (UV)
light is used for multiple purposes specially for forensic investigation and forensic
photography, it is a big help when conducting an investigation to the crime scene
because it illuminates latent fingerprints of the crime scene, trace evidences on
clothing, analyse ink stains, revealing residual stains of body fluids such as saliva,
semen, vaginal fluids and urine. Also it allows precise images and preliminary
identification of the evidence. Simply, to determine easily the evidences found in the
crime scene.

7. How is infrared light used in forensic photography?

Infrared light is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends
from long wavelength, or red, end of the visible-light range. It is therefore invisible
to human eye. Infrared photography has found several applications in forensic
photography it helps to see things in crime scene that are visible to the human
eye such as urine, blood, sperm, dirty clothes, altered documents, dyes, inks,
latent foot wear impressions and to determine the evidences that may appear in
distinguishable to the eye or visible to the eye.
