Small f-stop (f/1.4)
Larger f-stop (f/22)
Okay, so while I haven’t mastered the art of correctly sizing my pictures in the newest version of WordPress, I am learning the way aperture (f-stop) works on my Canon SLR. First I must say I learned a lot of what I know about my camera from Pastor Ryan, who writes the most amazing blog ever. Okay, now that I’ve given credit where credit is due, let’s keep going… The aperture aka f-stop controls the size of the hole which the light travels through on your camera. The larger the number (like, for instance, the second picture) the smaller the aperature and the smaller the number (top picture features the smallest f-stop) then the larger the aperature. So when you want to focus on one object with the background blurred out, you would need a larger aperture so you would use a smaller f-stop, like the first picture. See the difference between the two?
I took a photography class at a junior college four years ago and we used old school cameras, as opposed to my nice fat digital camera that is full of tricks.. needless to say, all I learned has been lost in the wind. But I am always looking for someone to completely simplify the process of learning photography.
Do you have any tips or recommendations?
