Choosing the right portrait lens plays a crucial role in capturing stunning portraits. One of the key factors to consider when selecting a portrait lens is its aperture. Aperture, measured in f-stops, controls the amount of light that enters the lens and affects the depth of field in the image. A wider aperture, such as f/1.4 or f/2.8, allows more light to enter the lens, resulting in a shallower depth of field. This creates a […]

Aperture's Impact: Unlocking Light and Depth of Field
Aperture is an essential concept in photography that controls the amount of light entering the camera and the depth of field in an image. It is measured in f-stops, and a smaller f-number (e.g., f/2.8) indicates a wider aperture, while a larger f-number (e.g., f/16) indicates a narrower aperture. A wider aperture allows more light to reach the camera’s sensor, resulting in a brighter image. It also creates a shallower depth of field, which means […]
