How
the
Aperture
Affects
the
Picture
1.
The smaller the aperture, the wider the range
of
sharpness. This
is
illustrated by this pic-
ture above which was taken at
f/16.
Com-
pare it
with
the
photo
to
its right. This
extended depth
of
field
is
especially good
for
such subjects
as
landscapes.

2.
The larger the aperture, the narrower the
range
of
sharpness. An aperture
of
f/1.4,
for
instance, can isolate your subject
from
its
surroundings. This
is
often used
to
blur a dis-
turbing background
in
portraiture.
