“Aperture”<\/h2>\n

The first question you encounter when you are introduced to photography is probably What is Aperture? As you can see in the picture above, It is\u00a0simply a hole that controls the amount of light entering a camera<\/strong>. You can compare it to the pupil of human eyes<\/strong>. The iris muscles around the pupil regulate the opening and depending on the area of the opening the amount of light that enters our eye is regulated. Similarly the Aperture is a variable opening in the lens\u00a0surrounded by rounded blades, and these aperture blades are opened and closed<\/strong> either mechanically (in older manual lenses with the help of an aperture ring) or electronically with a dial (in modern automatic lenses mounted on a DSLR). \u00a0In the picture below you can see an aperture mechanism dissembled out of a fairly new lens.<\/p>\n
