As a Google Local guide. cameras and Photography is basic thing we must have kept in our mind. there are three basic concept for Photography.shutterspeed, aperture and ISO. in this conversation we are going to learn about Aperture. 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 !?
see this
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.

This is a great post! Thanks a lot for sharing these useful tips with us. I’m a photography lover myself and always appreciate some cool shots and especially tips and advice. What camera do you use?
What tips would you advice for landscape and urban photography? At the moment I’m using mobile camera and quite satisfied with it. Do you have a preferred style of photographing?
Thank you So much dear friend DanniS. I would love to share the details you asked. I am more prone to Street Photography and street fashion photography. but also whenever I go for a small picnic I try for landscape photography as well.
I believe that it doesn’t matter whether you are using a mobile or camera. if you want to tell a story with your photograph you can. just make sure the composition of the frame is understandable though every photograph tells different stories from different perspectives.
right now I am using iPhone and Canon 1200D camera.
For landscape and urban Photography, I especially advise for Lighting and scaling. also, you should very must aware of the unnecessary elements. avoid them ! for the landscape you can use panorama feature of the mobile camera for better perspectives! make sure you won’t have to edit or post process. because it decreases the composition of photographs.
@vaghasiyaanand I never used a camera before except mobile phone, since smartphones are getting better each and every day with better photo quality almost better than other cameras, what can be that one thing that makes you choose a camera with a lens, just like what you shown on your first top photo?
I am looking for a reason, that I might need a dedicated camera for?
No Doubt its aperture of the lens, its the one of the most important aspects of Camera Photography. the first photo is just for graphical representation. but if you can relate the post. the third image is showing the depth of field. a Photograph with bokeh. I believe that this is the plus point Camera. but nowadays the majority of mobile phones having software blurring in camera. for a better perspective, that is why I choose the camera.
