You’ve seen that aperture setting on your camera but you aren’t quite sure how to use it. In fact, you’ve probably never even ventured outside of the fully auto mode on your trusty camera.

The aperture refers to depth of field, or rather, it measures how much of a photo is in focus. A long depth of field will leave virtually everything in the photo focused while a shorter depth of field will leave only a portion. The aperture will also be referred to as F-Stops. A setting of f22 will leave everything in focus while f1.8 will leave only a portion of the image focused.
For more in depth instructions read the tips at DigitalPhotographyTips.net and also refer to your owners manual to find out how to change your aperture.

Once you have mastered changing the aperture, you will be able to add a new dimension to your photos. This is also useful to help draw the viewers attention to where you want it in your photo.

If you don’t have a camera that allows you to change aperture settings, head into hhgregg and let the sales staff help you select one that does. You’ll be a pro in no time!
