f/3.5

1. Define Aperture. Feature of a camera that allows more or less light to enter the camera.
2. Define Depth of field. When you have a big aperture it lowers your depth of field "focus", When you have a small aperture you have more depth of field "focus".
3. What did you notice about the change in shutter speed as you controlled the Aperture?
The bigger the aperture the faster the shutter will shoot, the smaller the aperture the faster the shutter will shoot.
4. An Aperture of F22 is a small aperture? (big or small)
5. An Aperture of F3.5 is a big aperture? (big or small)
6. Explain which size aperture you might use if you're shooting a group of people that are at different distances from you? Keep in mind that you are trying to keep them ALL in focus. Why? You would want to use a smaller aperture to allow more focus on your subjects.
7. Expain which size aperture you might use if you're shooting a group of people, but you are focusing on only one subject? Why? You would want to have a bigger aperture to allow more light in which will limit your depth of field.
