Notes

zAperture

Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that
is in focus. This allows you to put the subject in sharp focus
and blur things in front of and beyond the subject. (Depth of
field becomes shallower.)
Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the range
that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the
scenery. (Depth of field becomes deeper.)
