Aperture Made Simple

That soft, glowing background you admire in professional portraits is not luck, and it does not require expensive gear. It comes from one setting. Aperture Made Simple explains f-stops with an easy pupil analogy, then shows you how to melt a background on demand and how to keep a whole group sharp when you need to.

What’s inside:

• F-stops explained, with an aperture circle diagram from f/1.4 to f/22
• The three things that control depth of field: aperture, your distance, and background distance
• A five-step recipe for creamy portrait backgrounds
• Starting apertures by subject, from solo portraits to large groups and landscapes
• Sharpest apertures, diffraction and bokeh, plus common mistakes and a practice exercise
