Understanding Aperture


Small Depth of Focus

Large Depth of Focus

AP: f/25.0     Shutter Speed:1/8     IOS: 800


Aperture is the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken. Aperture allows a certain amount of light to come in. If the aperture is higher then it allows less light to come in while if the aperture is lower then it allows more light to come in to the camera. This allows the photo taken to be lighter or darker. The aperture is at the top of the exposure triangle. It plays a big part in focusing the picture correctly for the overall picture to look good.
