About this video
Understanding Aperture is crucial if you want to be more creative with your digital camera. As well as a great way of controlling light, aperture can also control depth of field so you can control how blurry backgrounds and foregrounds appear in your photos.

As a former computer systems instructor, let me tell you that just because you know your ‘stuff’ doesn’t always equate to the ability to teach it and teach it well. You are an excellent teacher: No shouting, no loud music, no glitzy channel distractions, just great teaching. Everything you explain is easy to understand and to follow. I will often go back and re-watch some videos to get a refresher. Many other photographers’ channels lack clarity and a calm voice. A++ Paul! The best photography channel on YouTube.

I'm so glad I found your videos for beginners. You're a wonderful teacher. The way you not only explain but also SHOW different settings and the subsequent depth of field is terrific! Same with the way you talk us through the steps, showing them on both a Canon and Nikon camera. You obviously put a lot of thought and effort into your videos and they're very helpful. I thank you, and I subscribe.

This is one of the best photo channel on the Internet. Thank you so much Paul!

I am holding my 70D every time I watch your videos. Sir, you make great tutorials. I don't need to spend even a single penny to learn the basic comprehensively. Thank you so much.

[davyhall]

Thank you Paul. I am still learning (and forgetting).

[charlieobed]

Thank you mate for teaching me how to use my Canon camera almighty God will bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏

[ceciliagray]

You are definitely the greatest person/Teacher ever ❤I thank you for all these wonderful videos

Hi Paul, love your content. I'm about to buy a new camera, do you think a nikon d3500 would be a good camera for a beginner or do you recommend something else in that price range? I don't care about video, so that's not importent.

Thanks Paul, so helpful, and the Fred Perrys nice as well.

My photographer son once explained the aperture and numbers like an an eye. It gets smaller (the F stop number) while the pupil gets bigger (the lens opening) when exposed to more light as in daytime. At night, it’s the opposite- the iris gets bigger to allow more light in, so the pupil is smaller around it. Notice a cat’s eyes. And now I hope I have that explanation right! 😂

[AndrewBerube]

I would like to think that you helped me get well beyond the beginner phase but I still like watching your episodes!

[meltemozkok]

You are a great teacher. Thank you for your videos. I started watching almost all of your videos from the beginning.

[lego_minifig]

This would have been very helpful 2 years ago when I was first learning. The explanation was clear and concise.

[wolfriver]

I don't have the brands of camera you used, but this was still informative and let me find out more settings with my Pentax

[RansfordAboagyeAdrom]

I'm glad I found this video, you're an amazing personality. Keep it up🤝

[howardwilson]

Great videos Mr Ferrell sir, I'm learning a lot, and I've obviously subscribed and sent the thumbs up likes, , I look forward to more educational videos 😊

Paul, I think that a lot of the confusion about aperture numbers is that they are a reciprocal number - the focal length of the lens divided by the diameter of the of the opening. Of course the amount of light depends on the area of the opening of the tap in your analogy, not the diameter, hence the very strange sequence. f numbers are more properly written as a fraction, e.g. f/4, f/5.6, etc, but camera manufacturers have "simplified" this to the extent that the original meaning has been lost to anyone but us ancients! I wrote a little explanation of this, containing mathematics and facts, that I'm happy to share.

Your description of the effect on depth of field is spot on.

[nikejones]

I’ve been watching you for years . Just got my canon rebel t7 5 days ago and watching you has helped me so much I appreciate you keep it up please

[danielattias]
