Aperture Priority

This photo was taken with an f-stop 29.0, so there was a small aperture. Oddly the background is more out of focus and the foreground is in great focus. A small aperture usually puts the background in good focus. Despite the unusual out turn, this photo came out very successful.

Fiddling With the F-stop

This photo was taken with an f-stop of 5.0. Since the f-stop is small the aperture, and is large allowing more light to travel into the lens. Because the opening into the lens is larger there is a shorter depth of field.

This photo was taken with an f-stop of 25.0 and has a rather small aperture. This allows less light in the lens and a longer depth of field.
This photo was taken with an f-stop of 13.0 and has a medium sized aperture. There is not as much light in the lens as in the last photo, and the depth of field is shorter.
