Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

What is the project question for "Digital Photos and Dynamic Range" Since it is an experiment, (of sorts) I am trying to find out something (the average pixel gray level vs. shutter speed). That will be the answer, once I get all of my data, but what is the question that is the answer to? I have looked under all the tabs on the link and I cannot find it. Please answer soon! My project is due in less than 2 weeks. (It is so last minute because my original project was with plants and it failed and grew mold.) The link is included right here: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure THANK YOU!!

UPDATE: I now have an idea for a question, but what could my hypothesis be? Would I just give a range I think my digital camera has?

Hello Photography_Gurl,

The experiment described in this project involves measuring the number of pixels exposed at different shutter speeds, given a constant light source. After completing the experiment, you can use the data to find the dynamic range of your camera.

A couple of project questions that come to mind are:

What is the dynamic range of a digital camera?
How is the dynamic range of a digital camera measured?

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
