For this week's lesson, we learned about aperture :)
An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. It controls the amount of light entering the lens, and also affects the depth of field (DOF).
If the aperture is big, the background is clearer
If the aperture is small, the background is blur
A wide aperture has a small f number and gives a shallow DOF (less clarity). More light enters the lens.
A small aperture has a large f number and gives a great DOF (more clarity). Less light enters the lens
A small aperture has a large f number and gives a great DOF (more clarity). Less light enters the lens
After the lecture given by Mr Vinod, we had to conduct 2 exercises about aperture :)
EXERCISE 1
We were to maintain the ISO and the shutter speed and to manipulate the aperture.
Here is the result of the exercise that i conducted xD
F5 S 1/500 ISO 200
F5.6 S 1/500 ISO 200
F8 S 1/500 ISO 200
F11 S 1/500 ISO 200
F16 S 1/500 ISO 200
F22 S 1/500 ISO 200
.
EXERCISE 2
This time ,we used the metering feature to determine the correct exposure.
For each consecutive picture, we had to increase the aperture but also maintaining the correct exposure for all shots :)
F5 S-1/1000 ISO 200
F5.6 S-1/800 ISO 200
F8 S-1/500 ISO 200
F11 S-1/250 ISO 200
F16 S-1/125 ISO 200
F22 S-1/60 ISO 200
From this aperture exercise, I found out that aperture really does effect on how our pictures will turn out. It is important to manipulate the aperture so that the light entering the lens is at the right ammount :) . Not only that, It was my first time actually shooting photos with "Manual " mode..hahaha.. Before this, I would always stick to using "Auto" mode as I find it easier to use. But come to think of it, "Manual" mode is actually better because we get to adjust the settings in order to get a good shot ^_^.
