Today, I learned about aperture from a very reliable source, The Pioneer Woman.
Not only is she a genius in the kitchen, she also knows her way around a camera. I happened across her "What the Heck is an Aperture?" series on her photography blog.
I won't even attempt to explain it--complicated stuff!
However, I did mess around with the aperture on my camera and came up with this photo. The flower is much more in focus than the rest of the picture, especially if I had used the auto settings. I don't think the effect is as dramatic with my camera, though, since mine is still a point-and-shoot. It is probably the point-and-shoot that is closest to a SLR, although I'm no expert. It does allow me to adjust aperture and shutter speed, but not as much as if it were actually an SLR.
Or it could just be that I don't know what I am doing--totally possible.
All I know is I'm pretty proud of myself, I taught myself something new today!
