Can you explain about the aperture setting and how it affects the the picture?
(Explained as good as I can with my limited knowledge of the English language lol)
The aperture means that the smaller the number the more it opens, the more light comes in the camera. So 1.4 would have a more open aperture than 5.6. If it is a darker day, you might need to shoot at 1.8 or so (so more light would come in the camera). If it's lighter outside, you don't need to open the aperture as much and you can shoot at 3.5 or higher. I always shoot at 2.2. or so anyways unless it's too dark and I need to bring it to 1.4. But most of the time I try to keep it at 2.2 and just play with the speed and the ISO so I can keep the picture at 2.2 with no under or overexposures :) I love blurriness around the subject!
The more you open it, the smaller the focal point (like how much you can focus in the picture). This means that at 1.4 you could do a head shot where only the eyes are focused and sharp and the rest soft and blurry. If you took that picture at 11, the whole face would be sharp and the background would be too. Does that make sense?
Just remember, aperture, speed and ISO are related. So for a perfect exposure and for a perfect picture, you need to play with the 3 of them depending on the circumstances :)
Thank you for all your questions!!! There is more coming!
