Aperture technical notes

Aperture

Aperture is The opening in the lens. It controls how much light enters the camera, this then determines how light or dark your picture is. The higher the Aperture the smaller the opening therefor the less light that enters the camera, you would use a higher Aperture such as f8 if you were in a very bright setting so that your picture isn't over exposed. You would use a Lower Aperture such as f1.4 For a dark setting as the camera opening would be large therefor absorbing more light into the camera.
Aperture also controls depth of field This is how much of your image is in focus.The larger the depth of field the more image is in focus. To get a large depth of field you would have to set your Aperture to a higher setting such as f16 this would make all of your image in focus. To create a shallow depth of field you would have to put it onto a lower Aperture setting such as f1.8, this would only give you the foreground in focus and create a blurred background.

These are my examples of aperture using the different f numbers:
