Photography lessons - Homework 2

We learned about aperture, and how it changes a picture.
Long story short: large aperture (small f/ number) will blur the objects that are behind/in front the object you focus on. Small aperture (large f/ number) will let everything sharp.

Then, the homework was to take two photos of the same object with the largest and smallest aperture available and see the results.

I chose a plant with beautiful orange "peppers" in F&F's garden.


Small Aperture
f/22

Large Aperture
f/3.0


But the nicest result was by accident. Look at the little green plant next to the peppers, that stands out in the photo with large aperture.


Small Aperture
f/22

Large Aperture
f/3.0
