Understanding Aperture

The aperture of a photographic lens can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or image sensor.

The aperture value needs to be adjusted in the following cases:

•When you shoot against the light or when the background is too bright.

•When you shoot against a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

•When the background is overly dark (for example, night scenes).
