Aperture Settings

A guide to the settings on a camera.

Aperture – Size of Aperture – Depth of Field

F2.8 – Very Large – Nothing is in focus

F4 – Large – Some things are in focus, in front and behind the subject.

F5.6 – Medium – Things are staring to be in focus.

F8 – Small – More things are beginning to be in focus.

F11 – Smaller – Even more things are in focus.

F16 – Very Small – Almost everything is in focus

When taking photos, you must view the subjects from different positions.

  • Angel – high, low, and straight
  • Distance – close up, far away
  • Focusing – picture not blurred
  • Composition – cropping, symmetry
  • Depth of field – e.g. shadow, reflections

Also when taking pictures, to make them more interesting, think /look for different patterns or shapes in or around the main subject.

Depending on the subject reflections and shadow can make it look more interesting/different also.
