How to Understand Aperture in 5 Simple Steps | Photography Basics - 0 views

  •  
    "Step 1 - What Is Aperture? The best way to understand setting your aperture is to think of it as the pupil of an eye.  The wider it gets, the more light it lets in. Together, the aperture settings, shutter speed and ISO produce an exposure. The diameter of the aperture size changes, allowing more or less light onto the sensor. This depends on the situation and the scene being photographed. Creative uses of different aperture sizes and their consequences are tackled in Step 2. Put simply, when talking about light and exposure, wider apertures allow more light and narrower ones allow less."
