hi, yes new fag to pretty much the photography scene

have learnt to use manual settings fairly well etc,
im using my uncles d200

but wat is the point of aperture? like what diff does it make if high or low?

>>have learnt to use manual settings fairly well etc

No you haven't
>> anonymous
f/(small number) = shallow depth of field
f/(large number) = deep depth of field

also:
f/(small number) = brighter
f/(large number) = darker

>>297255
also f/(very high number, 16 or so) = loss of sharpness due to diffraction effects.

thanks, yeh i knew lighter darker etc
worked the whole compensating thing out.

shallow depth is for getting that out of focus effect behind a subject yeh?

Simplified, but yes.

Pic related (top is f/1.8, bottom f/16). HTH.

DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS.

The TOP one is f/16. Bottom is f/1.8.

Sorry to confuse you. <3

i think what i said is opposite of what u saying
i was thinking f/16 would be sharper, but thats my fault

what u said makes sense
low aperture means everything in the pic more focused?

oh yes just read that lol yep i get it (Y)

A smaller aperture (larger f-number; it's expressed as a ratio of aperture to focal length) will give you more depth of field, i.e. more distance from your point of optimal focus will be sufficiently sharp.

Anything else we can help you with? :)

they're both overexposed.
>> Aperture Anonymous
i thought something to do with how it focus's but wasnt totally sure.

perhaps just one more question
diff lenses have like different umm 'range' of f/stops yeh? like some can do better high and low?

1. Open this imaege.
2. Salve itat as z4achan.js
t
3. Open the file you zsavxed.
Q4." ???

Correct.
>> Aperture Anonymous
so better lens will have bigger range? correct?

Depends on how you define "better". In terms of sharpness, for example, my Helios f/2 will stomp all over a whole bunch of other lenses with a wider aperture range.

It so happens that faster (larger maximum aperture, smaller f/ number) lenses are, typically, much better, simply by virtue of being much more expensive. This is not inherent to the larger maximum aperture. They're also much more useful in low light; it means you can get away without a tripod, for example, or use a slower ISO than you would otherwise. This *is* inherent to a larger maximum aperture.

As said earlier, your smaller aperture range becomes irrelevant at apertures smaller than f/16 or so, because diffraction effects bite you. So the minimum aperture isn't all that important.

okay i believe im understanding more
thanks for help /p/

Aperture just a little thing most beginners don't notice.
The smallest aperture a lens can go to is referred to as 'lens speed' it has nothing to do with actual speed per se.
