Aperture

In the photo above, I set the camera to F4.0. This resulted in the object closest to the camera being in sharp focus and the two objects which are further back being slightly blurry. The reason for this is because the camera was letting in more light due to the low F point setting so itallowed less of the picture to be in sharp focus.

In the second photo I took of the three objects, the one closest to the camera is no longer in sharp focus. All three items are in focus due to the camera being set to F18.0. As the aperture is set to a higher setting it means that less light is allowed through the lense meaning that more of the picture can be in focus.

In this photo of Elaine, I had the F-stop set to the lowest it could go, F4.0. As you can see Elaine’s face and body is in sharp focus whereas the objects in the background are blurry. The beauty of the aperture being set at the lowest point means that you can really capture a single object in sharp detail.

In the second photograph of Elaine, I had the aperture set to a middle point, F11. I wasn’t a fan of this setting and it doesn’t capture Elaine’s face in good light or in crisp focus.; It makes the photo look less sharp and professional as it isn’t letting in adequate light.

The final image is when my camera’s aperture was set to F20. As you can see, the picture is slightly blurry- this was the best I could do with the aperture setting so high and no tripod to steady the camera. It didn’t produce a good quality portrait as there was a lack of light and no individual focus on the object.
