Aperture examples

Depth of field (DOF) is probably one of the least understood principles of photography. Most photographers seem aware of its existence, but few seem able to define exactly how it works and how to put it to use. We believe that part of the reason for this is because it is completely fluid, (meaning c…

Aperture is the hole through which light enters the camera. The size of the hole can be changed to control how much light is let into the camera. Smaller aperture= less light, Larger aperture=...

Aperture/ISO/Shutter Speed When altering the aperture on the camera settings, you are indicating how wide the lens iris opens, allowing you to control the amount of light that gets in. Aperture is measured in f-stop numbers (i.e f/2 or f/22 as you can see in the below diagram). The smaller the lens opening, the higher the f-stop and the higher the f-stop the less light, therefore more of the image will be in focus and vice versa. When we alter the aperture we also must consider whether we…
