Effects of Changing the Aperture
The lens aperture does not only control
exposure but it also has an effect on the
photograph as follows:
In example C, the aperture was set at
f/5.6 with the shutter speed dial adjusted
before shooting. In example D, a f/16 setting
was used to clearly demonstrate the diffe

front are blurred and only the miniature cars
in the central area are in focus. In D, most of
the miniature cars are sharp and clear. Thus,
the lens aperture has a marked effect on how
much of the picture is reproduced sharply.
