Aperture and Depth of Field

Posted February 18th, 2008 by Fermat

Here is a short movie that is a fantastic demonstration of how the aperture (or f stop) of your lens affects Depth of Field (DoF) of the photo. Understand and knowing how to control aperture is a fundamental of SLR photography.
Remember:
The smaller the number the bigger the aperture and the more light is being let in to the camera.
