Different
apertures give your images different professional touch. You can make pictures
that draw attention of viewer in a matter of seconds by learning how to do
experiment with different apertures.
Aperture is
commonly referred to the opening or closing camera lens. It controls the amount
of light you want to pass through the lens. The larger you open the camera
lens, the more light gets through. Once you master the art of using apertures,
you can absolutely control over your camera
You need to
keep in mind various results that given by different apertures. However, the
most noticeable hurdle you’ll encounter when using aperture is the depth of
field. It’s an area that spreads behind and in front of the subject that
appears sharp. Depth of field has a direct relationship with aperture. If you
use wider aperture, the depth of field in the scene will remain shallow. This
is quite useful for focusing only in narrow zone. The more of the image will
appear sharp, if you are working with smaller aperture. That’s why aperture
control and focusing work hand-in-hand.
It can be a
little confusing to keep in mind at first but you will get used to it with a
little practice. You need to take control of the focus, if the result image you
get with wide apertures has limited range of sharpness. It often happens in
close-up shots, where you can measure the depth of field. If you don’t take
care of this, you will end-up with the soft look result.
However, it
has its own advantage. When doing selective focus, you can place a sharp
subject between blurry layers. This gives the direct attention to the subject,
while it still looks natural and balanced. You will need to compress the perspective
and soften details in background and foreground to do selective focus
effectively. It can be achieved with a telephoto lens.
If you want
to get blurry background, it’s great to use wide apertures. But, this won’t be
work if your subject isn’t far enough away from the elements of the background.
When working at anything other than wide-open aperture, always determine the
background and make use the depth of filed button.
