The evolution of photography has come a long way since the
primitive days of cameras. Digitally avanced, cameras now have endless capabilities. There are also many technical terms
to understand. Check back here every now and then to learn all things photography!
Aperture
Measured in f-stop numbers, it is the variable opening in a lens that controls the amount of light that
hits the image sensor, thereby affecting exposure. A small f-stop number (i.e., f/2.8) represents a wide lens opening, which
allows more light to pass through the lens to the sensor and is beneficial in low-light conditions. A larger f-stop number
(i.e., f/8.0) narrows the lens opening and allows less light to hit the sensor. The latter provides a broader depth of field,
while the former decreases the depth of field.
