Introduction to Aperture: MR COOPER. 6.4.16


Introduction:
The task was to look at a powerpoint and write notes on Aperture and explain what Aperture is. This task was interesting as I learnt every detail about Aperture.

What I have learnt:
I have learnt that Aperture is less complicated than made out, as it tells us how a picture can look with lighting or no lighting. Also, there were no complications as it was explained well and I understood it.

How will this help me:
This will help me as now when I take pictures I know how to use the Aperture and I understand what the Aperture is.









  • Aperture is the size of an opening in  the lens when a picture is taken,
  • Hole opens to allow a picture to be taken.
  • For example, the larger the light the more light gets in.
  • For example, lens is like a human eye.
  • Aperture simply means an opening.
  • Adjustable iris that can be opened or closed to control how much light enters the camera.
  • Aperture is measured in F stops.
  • Moving on from F stop to the next doubles and halves the size of the amount of opening in the lens.
  • So f/2.8 is in fact a much larger aperture than f/22.
  • Consider your setting, depth of field= most of the image will be in focus. Shallow or small will be in focus, and the rest will be fuzzy.
  • Small Aperture= has  a larger depth of field.
  • Larger Aperture= Smaller depth of field.
  • Some styles of photography they require different Apertures (large depth of field + small apertures)
  • Most Landscapes= Have small aperture settings. This ensures that from the background pf the horizon is relatively in focus.
  • Macro= Image close up.
  • Large Apertures( f2.8 to F5.6)
  • Produce shallow depth of field.
  • Small Aperture ( F16 to F32) landscape with sharply focus and background.
