I was using APERTURE WRONG until I learned this

Photography basics lesson 1: Aperture. It’s really just a fancy word for how much light your lens will allow onto the camera sensor. A large aperture, (ie f1.4, huge hole, more light), will result in a blurry background and subject separation because the depth of field is shallow. A small aperture, (ie f16, tiny hole, less light), will result in a deeper depth of field, make more of your composition in focus. #photography #photographytips #foryoupage #aperture #tutorial #photographybasics
