Aperture is the first topic this month for the Boost Your Photography: 52 Weeks Challenge. (Join the Google+ Community to share your weekly photographs and receive feedback.) Aperture is a topic that often confuses photographers. The two important things to know with aperture are what each range of apertures can do for you and when is the appropriate time to use them. (For a quick overview of aperture, please read Aperture and the F/Stop Conundrum.) One of the best ways to understand aperture is to spend some time looking in through the lens on your camera. Many DSLRs have a small button known as the "depth of field preview" button, often located near or around the lens. (You may have to get out your manual to find yours.) When you press and hold this button, the aperture blades inside your lens close down to the aperture you would be shooting at, and you can actually see the size and shape of the opening. So, with your camera in Aperture Priority mode, set an aperture of f/22. Now, turn the camera around so that you can see inside the lens. Press and hold the depth of field preview button and watch what happens inside. Now try a middle range aperture value like f/11. Notice the difference? If you are having trouble seeing (or have a point-and-shoot camera or phone), this aperture diagram from Shot Rockers gives you the approximate visual. Now that you know the physical part of aperture, the other key is knowing what each aperture can do. Below is a link to a series of four articles about aperture that have previously appeared on Boost Your Photography. Aperture and the F/Stop Conundrum lays out an overview of aperture, how it works, and an explanation of the sometimes confusing terminology. Each of the three other articles provides an overview of a specific segment of the aperture spectrum, from the wide aperture end (towards f/1.8), to the narrow aperture end (towards f/22), and to the middle range apertures in between (f/8-f/11). Aperture and the F/Stop Conundrum What an Aperture of F/1.8 Can Do for You What an Aperture of F/22 Can Do for You Middle Apertures: F/8-11 Once you understand how each section of the aperture spectrum works, it is easy to see how to use each aperture to control the depth of field that you are seeking. Looking for a narrow depth of field and lots of blur and bokeh in the background? Choose a wide aperture. Looking for a wide depth of field with everything in your photograph in focus? Choose a narrow aperture (and probably a tripod). Summary: Aperture Understanding aperture will help you better control depth of field and how much of your photograph is in focus. Aperture is also often used for artistic effects and blur. Spend some time shooting with your camera in Aperture Priority mode to familiarize yourself with what different aperture values can do for a given scene or subject. See what a difference aperture can make! (Looking to grow more in your photography?

Exposure is another fundamental topic in photography, and one that is often misunderstood or used in multiple, overlapping usages. This article will introduce the most important use of the term exposure: as a way of talking about the overall lightness and darkness of a given image. Exposure is also the topic for the week of May 11th in the Boost Your Photography 52 Weeks Challenge (#byp52weeks). Read more about #BYP52Weeks or join the group here. Exposure Basics If you are shooting in any mode other than full manual, your camera is the one calculating and determining the exposure for your photograph. When you shoot in Auto or a scene mode, for example, your camera evaluates the scene presented and chooses what it determines to be the correct ISO, aperture, and shutter speed to give you a 'correct' final exposure. Even in Aperture or Shutter Priority modes, you set the ISO and either the aperture or the shutter, and it is the camera that chooses either the shutter or aperture based on what it determines to be a correct exposure. There can be more than one 'correct' exposure however, and these are known as equivalent exposures. You can read more about correct and equivalent exposures in the article All about Exposure. The important thing to know is that the exposure determined by your camera may not be the 'right' exposure, as envisioned by you, and that there are several ways to control your the exposure. The main method is to use exposure compensation. (You can read about some of the other methods for DSLR shooters in More on Exposure: how to fix common exposure problems in your photography or for point-and-shoot shooters in Teaching Kids Photography: shooting modes, focus, and exposure.) Exploring Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is a way of telling your camera that you want a given photograph to be relatively lighter or darker than the calculated exposure. DSLRs and many point-and-shoot cameras have an option for adjusting exposure compensation while shooting. This number line graph often goes from values of plus-or-minus 2 for point-and-shoots to plus-and-minus 3 or 4 for DSLR cameras. These values are measured in stops, which is a halving or doubling of the amount of light recorded by the camera. So, a photograph shot at +1 exposure compensation will have recorded twice as much light as a photograph shot at 0. This infographic shows the progression of changing the exposure compensation from minus 4 to plus 3, using the exposure compensation graph. (This series was shot using Aperture Priority mode with an aperture of f/5 and an ISO of 100, and the camera choose the shutter speed to match the given exposure value. Since each unit is one stop of light, each photograph represents a shutter speed that is double the amount of time from the previous image, ranging from 1/250 of a second up to a half second.) As you might expect, as you move into the negative values on the exposure compensation scale, your overall photograph becomes much darker. For this particular composition, by the time you read -3 and -4, most of the color and details have been lost in shadow. This style of shooting - using a much darker than expected exposure - is known as low key. Likewise, as you move into the positive values on the exposure compensation scale, your overall photograph becomes much lighter. By +3 for this composition, nearly the entire background has become blown out (white) and much detail has been lost in the flowers. This style of shooting - using a much lighter than expected exposure - is known as high key. There are many situations where you may want a different final exposure than the one chosen by your camera. When shooting bright snow, for example, you might need to use +1 or a positive fraction in order to get the snow looking bright and white. When shooting a dark contrasty black and white shot, you might need to use -1 or a negative fraction in order to keep your background black and the only light falling on your subject instead. If you are unsure about which exposure might be the one that you want, you can also use exposure bracketing (another option within exposure compensation available with DSLR cameras). Exposure bracketing allows you to shoot a series of 3 or more photographs at varying levels of exposure compensation (plus-or-minus 1 is a common choice for exposure bracketing). This gives you the additional benefit of choosing your favorite exposure later, after you have the opportunity to look at and compare them on your computer rather than simply the LCD screen of your camera.
