Description
Aperture in photography – what does this mean? And is it important?
Yes, it sure is, so you need to understand aperture to take the best photos you can.
Understanding aperture will help you take the highest quality, sharpest and correctly exposed photos with the desired depth of field.
In this episode, I tell you
- What aperture is
- What do those strange numbers mean
- Maximum and minimum aperture
- How aperture affects exposure
- What if I use a phone to take photos and not a camera?
- What if I use a film camera?
- And finally, what I do.
All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!
