Aperture versus Shutter
APERTURE vs. SHUTTER
Aperture: A device that controls the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor. Also called the f-Number.
-small aperture: The advantage to having a small aperture is it increases the depth-of-field. An increased depth-of-field allows you to take pictures of landscapes in very sharp focus. This also you to use a slow shutter speed.
-large aperture: A large aperture allows more light to reach the sensor which also allows you to use a faster shutter speed.
Shutter Speed: The amount of time the shutter stays open while talking a photograph.
