Learning Photography? The basic things which should be kept in mind are the Basics!😜 In DSLR photography basics are an aperture, ISO, Shutter speed and exposure triangle. Of course, sometimes gear, vision, place, and lighting have their own importance. But this blog is all about aperture, so let's get started!
Aperture is the hole in the camera! In simple language. If our eye was camera a tiny hole in the center of the eye is aperture. It is working the same as in the DSLR as well. aperture is maintaining light entry and focus depth of field. We will talk about this later. I have made another post about those things. You can check it!
Aperture is shown in the graphics on lens box or online as ( f) or the number like 1.4 / 1.8/3.5/5.6/ 11/22it depends on the lens mechanism and the what the lens type!
The mostly prime lens like 50mm ( i am also using canon 50mm f1.8 ) it shows that this lens has a maximum aperture of 1.8! Which can be minimized to f22!
It's a bit confusing! Yes, I was having trouble in my beginning phase! Like what is going up at the same time what is going down !?

It is showing multiple terms related to each other!
Wide aperture is the whole opening of the aperture which can be f/1.4 or f/1.8. At this level, the aperture is totally open so it is knowing as wide aperture. The same opposite goes for small aperture. It is said to be small cause aperture is contracted to minimal but the number is around f/16 or f/22! This the confusion of number. Practice makes this easy for daily Photography.
As in wide aperture, light is more entering in the lens as well as reaching sensor, if we not control other factors like iso and shutter speed picture can be overexposed. And in the small aperture, it can be underexposed.
Will discuss what is the depth of field? Later on! Stay tuned. Ask if you want more detail about aperture or the extra information in the comment. I will give you reference reading and URL containing information about aperture!
