Aperture plays an important rule in taking pictures. Aperture is the depth of field that a camera catches.The aperture number determines the opening size of the lens. A higher number of apertures actually creates a deep depth of field. With larger depth of field the subject is included in the background and the picture is all in focus. However a smaller aperture number results in a shallow depth of field. A shallow depth of field is when the subject is separated by their background. This makes the subject in focus but the background blurry. Through this experience I learned what a difference it makes when just changing the aperture by a little. When doing this assignment I found it easier to make a great picture by using a shallower depth of field. I like the way it looks when the subject is in focus and the background is blurry because it shows what you want the person to focus on when they look at the photo. I was able to adjust the aperture to what I wanted easily. One problem I had was when I changed the aperture the shutter speed was changing to 1/10 of a second because the ISO number was too low. Once I was able to change the ISO the shutter speed was not so long. Overall I learned a lot about aperture during this experience.
