Are you looking to get the nice out of focus, blurry background in your images? Do you need more light for a proper exposure? Adjusting your aperture will make that possible. Understanding Aperture and F-Stops will help you take your creativity and photography to the next level. In this video I’ll explain what F-stops are, how they work and when to use the different F-stops.

I will also show you example images as well as give you a specific way you can practice changing your aperture while allowing the camera to choose your shutter speed. As you learn how to use the aperture, you will gain an additional skill that brings you one step closer to understanding the exposure triangle, using manual mode on your camera and taking amazing pictures.

Here are some key things to remember about Aperture and F-stops:

Aperture controls two things, the amount of light that passes through the lens and Depth of Field
Lower apertures, for example 2.8, allow more light to pass thought the lens. They also allow for a shallower depth of field, giving you the ability to achieve that nice blurry background.
Depth of Field (DOF) is simply the area that is in focus within the photograph.
High apertures (8 and higher) allow for more or all of your image to be in focus.
Higher Apertures also allow LESS light through the lens
