Understanding Aperture

1. Large Aperture (f/2.8):

   Features: Allows lots of light, creating a shallow depth of focus.
   Example: Portrait with a focused subject and a beautifully blurred background.

   

   A large aperture (f/2.8) lets more light into the lens. It also makes a shallow depth of field. This creates a nice effect in portrait photography where the subject is well lit and the background is blurred, giving all the focus to the subject’s face.

2. Medium Aperture (f/8):

   Features: Lets in some light, providing clarity for both subject and background.
   Example: Clear landscapes or group photos with depth.

   

   Medium apertures (f 5.6 and f/8) is a good aperture for a photo that wants focus on both the subject and the background. There is less blur, and more of the photo is sharper.

3. Small Aperture (f/16):

   Features: Allows minimal light, resulting in deep focus.
   Example: Sharp images of entire landscapes or buildings.

   

   small aperture results in sharp and focused images. Photos with a small aperture have a very deep depth of field, meaning that there will barely be any blurriness in the photo.
   
   However, a small aperture results in less light in the photo.
