Adventures in Aperture
by Andy on Jul.10, 2008, under Photography
I’ve been quite keen to understand more about how to be ‘arty’ with photography, and have been experimenting with depth of field.
From what I’ve learned so far, the easiest way to alter depth of field is to switch the camera to Aperture Priority (Av), which allows you to manually set the Aperture.
My EOS 450D with the 18-55mm kit lens allows me to set apertures between F3.5 and F22. To see what the effect is of the different apertures, I set up a simple shoot and altered the aperture to see the results.
