{'shutter speed': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'maximum exposure': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'aperture': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'camera': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'combinations': [2, 1, 0, 2]}

To achieve the maximum exposure in photography, you need a combination of a small aperture (large f-number) and a slower shutter speed.

Among the options provided:

- f-22, 1/60: This combination has a small aperture (f-22) but a relatively faster shutter speed (1/60). It allows less light to enter and a shorter duration of exposure.

- f-16, 1/125: This combination has a small aperture (f-16) and a slightly faster shutter speed (1/125). It allows more light compared to the previous option but still not the maximum exposure.

- f-8, 1/250: This combination has a larger aperture (f-8) and a faster shutter speed (1/250). It allows more light to enter compared to the previous options, but it is not the combination for maximum exposure.

- f-5.6, 1/1000: This combination has the largest aperture (f-5.6) among the options and the fastest shutter speed (1/1000). It allows the maximum amount of light to enter the camera and provides a very short duration of exposure.

Therefore, the combination of f-5.6 and 1/1000 (f-5.6, 1/1000) will allow the maximum exposure among the options given.
