Photography Tutorial & Tips - A detailed tutorial of "Aperture" with picture samples. This lesson is very basic and important for beginners.

Important Notes:

f/2 = bigger aperture (more light coming in) Perfect for blown up background
f/12 = smaller aperture (less light coming in) Suitable for big groups or landscape photography where you want everything to be sharp.

I will post lots of links on this video for people just starting digital slr photography. I am a nikon photographer but whatever canon terms I am familiar with, I do mention it in my videos to help canon users as well.

  • Since you are a fan of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (one of my top 5) and classical music (I am a symphonic musician) -- I knew there was a reason I liked you :). Besides, you make great instructional videos for photography. Thank you!

  • @x3clarabelle3x Thank you! Great minds think alike. :) I love One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. Music wise, I grew up listening to heavy metal and alternative but in high school I played a little bit of upright base and that was enough for me to fall in love with classical music. Now I am a big fan of both eastern and western classical music. I still listen to metal here and there lol.

  • I just bought my first DLSR yesterday and your tutorial helped me a lot. thank you!

  • First video I seen of yours. Definitely a good one. Subbed. So now that I know how to blur out the background so the thing that is closer to me is whats being focused in on. Does the same thing apply when trying to blur out whats closer and focus in on the background, except you move the af-s focal point on the background? Or is it more to it then that?

  • Thank you for the great lesson!!
