    Aperture determines the size of the camera lens opening, affecting the amount of light entering the camera and the depth of field. A small f-stop number indicates a large aperture opening and shallow depth of field, while a larger f-stop number means a smaller opening and greater depth of field. The aperture, along with shutter speed and ISO, must be properly set for the photograph. Aperture priority mode allows automatic adjustment of shutter speed based on the set aperture. Tripods help stabilize shots while different aperture settings can blur or freeze background motion.

    What is Aperture?
    Dependant on what you want to focus on will determine your aperture. It
    determines the size of hole i.e small hole small amount of light. Large
    hole large amount of light.
    Each lens identified by the f. stop number. (Divisible by 1:1.4 on the
    example)
    Large f. stop (number) = small hole therefore small amount of light.
    Smaller numbers need more glass therefore more expensive to produce.
    ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture has to be correct for scene you are
    photographing. Need to control all of these to get the correct exposure.
    F Stop = measure of light. (stop because you stopped every aperture
    on old cameras)
    NB
    For Wide depth of field;
    = wide (or big) amount of light, bigger number, big (fast) speed.
    For Narrow depth of field;
    = narrow (or small) amount of light, smaller number, small (slow)
    speed.
    Sequence of numbers which need to be memorised:
    1.2 (largest amount of light)
    1.4
    2.0
    2.8 (twice as dark as 2.0) etc.
    4.0/5.6/8.0/11/16/22 (smaller amounts of light as number increases)
    These numbers represent the smaller the lens to the actual outside of
    camera.
    In Practice:
    50mm lens with wide 1.4 aperture. Image softens because background
    blurs more than with 5.6. Closer to subject narrows depth of focus.
    Group shots need wider depth of field and larger f stop.
    ISO International Standards Organisation
    Image sensitivity ranges higher number = easier for camera to receive
    light. i.e. 800 very sensitive (for low light levels) But grainier looking =
    more noise.

    Aperture priority modes
    Auto =
    P= programme
    AV= gives you automatic shutter speed AV means aperture value.
    M= All manual
    B =Bulb open as long as you press shutter down.
    Aperture is great for exploring depth of field and shooting in low light.
    Tripods
    This frees up your hands = stabilises the background.
    Shutter Speed
    Adjust this to stabilise your shot. This freezes or blurs action depending
    on setting.
    Apertures side effect is on the blur of the background.
    High f stop = shutter speed goes down if you have camera on AV setting.
    Therefore, have to change the shutter speed to high or fast. F22 and
    1/100th. ISO goes down. Therefore, need to also change the ISO higher
    to 1600.
    Therefore, need High f stop (small aperture), high speed, high ISO. This
    freezes movement.
    Aperture 2.8, sensitivity 200, speed 1.1:1000 therefore, background is
    blurred, but subject in focus.
    Portraits need to be taken in portrait orientation.
    Move closer to the subject and background will become more blurred.
    Reflectors
    Reflect natural or artificial light onto the subjects face. White is colour
    neutral so if you use a white reflector it will reflect back the natural light.
    If you use gold it will change the reflected light back. Use this in summer
    because there is a lot of brightness and colour around.
    Some come with tripod mounts. Cheap on Ebay!
    Black is for reducing reflected light, creating shadow, also removing
    reflected light e.g someone standing nearby in white clothing.
    Strobox website
    Portrait, natural light, search = people put pictures up and how they did
    it. Website is a bit hit and miss in terms of search facility i.e. sometimes
    no flash pics contain flash.This shows roughly how pics are done. Read
    the text because it is helpful.
