Aperture Assignment Thinger.

Ok, so I learned some things about aperture, which I needed to because I fail at film photography and know nothing.

1} I learned what a stop is. It's any structure that limits the light intake of the camera. An example of these structures would be a diaphragm.

2} I also learned that the size of the stop effects the depth of field, which means whats actually in focus and I wanted to know what actually controlled this so that I do the whole thing where you take a picture of an eyeball and everything else around it is out of focus. Which I will do that exact picture eventually with someone who has a neat eyeball.

3} One last thing I learned is that an f-number is the ratio of focal length to effective aperture diameter. The lower the f-number is the more light gets in.


Alot of this stuff on this page honestly is kind of going into my brain and kind of swishing around in there and then getting lost. I do better with physically seeing things on the camera to understand it. I'm like that with all technology items, well if you can even consider my camera to be a technological item since it's ridiculously ancient. But anyway I ramble stupidly.
