demonstrated the ability to

1. use geometric grids to apply the rule of thirds to their own, original photographs

2. calculate the inverse square relationship between a light source and the subject, eg predict how moving a lamp twice as far away from a subject reduces the light intensity to one-fourth of its original strength

3. use trigonometry to determine how the focal length of a lens, ie the distance from the lens to the sensor, affects the triangular field of vision, and explain why a wide-angle lens captures a larger horizontal degree than a telephoto lens

4. identify and describe the importance of the geometric progression in an aperture scale, eg f-stops, on a camera lens.
