APERTURE
Apertures in stops
As you can see from the images above, when you go from one aperture to the next you move up or down one stop
meaning you either half or double the amount of light. The f-stop is quite simply the f number you’re at i.e., if
your camera is set to f/8 then your currently set to the f-stop of f/8.
APERTURE
An aperture in photography also controls a visual effect called ‘depth of field’. Depth
of Field or DOF is the distance around the focus point that is sharp.
Depth of Field in Photography. The purple line is the focus point, and the blue box is
the distance around that focus point that is sharp. This is the image’s Depth of Field
APERTURE
Knowing how to control DOF with apertures will help you create portraits with a blurry
background, this is a visual effect called ‘shallow depth of field’, or it will help you create
landscapes with everything sharp from the foreground to the background, this is a visual
called a ‘long depth of field’.
The wider the aperture the shorter the depth of field will be in your photograph (less
‘distance’ will be sharp). Referred to as a ‘Shallow Depth of Field’.
APERTURE
The smaller the aperture the longer the depth of field will be in your photograph (more
‘distance’ will be sharp). Referred to as a ‘long Depth of Field’.
Below you can see several pictures of the same subject (a brick wall), taken in the same
place with the same focus point. But the depth of field changes between the shots due to
the different aperture setting.
APERTURE
Task
1. Put your camera onto a tripod and put it onto its 2 seconds timer or use a remote
trigger. This will keep your camera nice and still during the exposures.
2. Put your camera to its AV or A setting. This is your Aperture Priority setting.
4. Then place your camera at a tight angle next to a wall, fence or something with a lot
of distance. It works best having a repeating pattern like a brick wall or a fence but
it’s not essential. See the image below for an example.
5. Make sure your focus point is in the same place for each of the shots.
6. Then take several pictures going through the aperture stops as in the sequence above.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the numbers in that sequence, just use the ones you
have.
7. Compare the shots on a computer screen to see the difference in the depth of field.
