Aperture Priority Reflection – Sergio

Capturing photos at different apertures was a long process, especially taking pictures with a higher F Stop or lower Aperture. Controlling only the aperture was annoying as the camera is controlling the shutter speed, so the higher the F stop, the slower the shutter, making it easy to get blurry photos if not stable, which was a lot of the photos I got towards the beginning of the week. This was also a mistake on my end, shooting at way too high of apertures to the point where photos would need full seconds to capture, making it insanely blurry. As for what the aperture does to the photos, a lower f/stop creates a shallower depth of field, making whatever is in focus pop out, even creating blurry dots of light or bokeh. For photos with a high f/stop, more of what is being shot is in focus, capturing full frames of a photo rather than a singular subject. In my portfolio, between the portraits I shot of Brice, one was with a high f/stop around f/14, with the surrounding area being clear, being able to zoom into the photo and not have as much graininess. For the photo shot with a lower f/stop around f/1.8, only Brice is in focus, with the surrounding background being a blur, achieving a shallower depth of field, with even the light in the sky becoming circles as it’s not what is being focused on due to the wider opening of the camera.
