  1. Getting to Know Aperture

  2. Aperture As the f-stop numbers go up in number the aperture size becomes smaller Traditionally, the f-stop setting is located on the lens barrel

  3. Depth of Field Depth of field is the area from near to far in a scene that is acceptably sharp/in focus in a photograph

  4. Depth of Field • One of the most important aspects of taking a good photograph • Determined by aperture size • Small apertures have greater depth of field than larger apertures • e.g. f/22 had greater depth of field than f/2.8 • Remember that small f-stop means larger opening and therefore less depth of field

  7. Depth of Field Mark Kauffman, Princess Margaret Inspecting King’s African Rifles, Mauritius, 1956

  8. Depth of Field • Plane of Critical Focus • The focal point or area of your photograph • Think of it as the midpoint of your depth of field • Should be what you are focusing your lens on when taking a photograph

  9. Aperture & ART f/5.6 f/16

  10. Aperture & ART When using selective focusing, make sure that you select a depth of field that is shallow enough to blur unwanted details completely. Maximum Aperture focused on a single bloom.

  11. Aperture & ART With fairly even light, the smallest aperture was used to ensure the image was sharp from front to back. The resulting shutter speed was 4 seconds. Cathedral Interior, Cordoba

  12. Aperture & ART A short depth of field allows the cow’s eye to be in sharp focus while the cow’s tongue and the horizon are blurred.

  13. Determining Exposure: Shutter & Aperture • Exposure is the combination of aperture (f-stop) and shutter speed used to allow the correct amount of light to reach the film • Exposure is also determined by film speed • If the film speed is not set correctly the exposure will be off • Film speed is denoted by ASA or ISO: this is a system to rate the film speed, with the higher the ASA number, the more sensitive the film is to light • Higher film speed is “faster” and more sensitive (can be used with less light) • 400 is faster than 200, 200 is ideal for outdoors, 400 for all purpose

  14. Determining Exposure: Shutter & Aperture When determining exposure, the photographer must take into account Depth of Field and Motion. Shutter Speed 1/8 Aperture f/16 Shutter Speed 1/125 Aperture f/4 Shutter Speed 1/500 Aperture f/2
