Understanding Aperture

Small Depth of Field











Large Depth of Field






Aperture is the size of the opening of the lens when a picture is taken.  If the picture is being taken in a darker setting, there should be a bigger aperture to let more light in.  If the picture is taken in a place with a lot of light, the aperture should be smaller so the opening in the lens is smaller to let less light in.  The larger the aperture, the smaller the opening in the lens of the camera.  However, if the light is the same in two pictures, but the aperture is changed, the picture will change as well.  If there is a small aperture, then the picture's background will be blurry, and if you have a large aperture, the background will be clear.  The Aperture affects the shutter speed, the lower the aperture the faster the shutter speed.
