3 TakingPictures

Opening the aperture (reduce the aperture value) Objects closer and farther than the

focused subject will be more out of focus. For instance, if you take a picture of a flower against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred, emphasizing only the flower.

Closing the aperture (increase the aperture value) The range in focus expands forward and

backward. For instance, if you take a picture of a flower against a landscape with the aperture narrowed, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be in focus.
