It's a must read especially for photography beginners like me.
That aperture is the one responsible for the focus of your subject when shooting a photograph. Technically speaking, aperture is the size of the lens' opening when taking pictures. Aperture is measured by what we call the "f stops". They are what we refer to as f/4, f/5.6 and so on..
Keep this in mind: large apertures are indicated by f/stop smaller numbers; small apertures have bigger f stop numbers. Large aperture is where large amount of light gets through while small aperture is where little amount of light gets through the lens.
Small apertures are mostly used to capture landscape pictures where the whole picture is clear, crisp and focused. On the other hand, large apertures is usually used for portraits where the sole subject is focused and the background is blurred. With this, the viewer's attention is captured by the subject since the background is completely out of focus.
DSLR have this manual mode, but Samsung W150F, a smart digital camera also have this :) I'll show you pictures with small and large apertures using the W150F once I got the time. For the mean time, let me show this to you:

Enjoy shooting with your camera. Play with the aperture but be sure to use it appropriately.
Thanks for dropping by! Hope you learned something.
