Trying to get into photography. How and why does aperture affect focus?
In: 6
imagine you’re looking through a tiny window. If the window is really big (like a wide aperture), you can see a lot of things clearly, but everything else around it is blurry. But if the window is very small (like a narrow aperture), you can see a smaller area very clearly, and more things around it are also clear.
In photography, the aperture is like the size of the window that lets light into the camera. A big aperture lets in a lot of light, which can make things look sharp in the front but blurry in the back. A small aperture lets in less light, which can make more things look clear from front to back.
So, choosing the right aperture helps the photographer decide what they want to be in focus and what they want to be blurry in the picture.
