have you ever noticed the little F numbers around the lens on a camera have

00:00:03.719 --> 00:00:08.679
you ever wondered what they might mean it's called f-stop and it's a

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.519
measurement of the possible range of sizes for a camera's aperture which is

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:16.760
the opening in a camera through which light enters the wider the aperture is

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:20.640
the more light can get through onto the camera sensor which is necessary for

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.240
properly exposing lighter or darker scenes the f-stop number or focal ratio

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:29.320
indicates how much light is getting through and each marked f- stop is

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.399
either double or half as much light but it's not very intuitive because the

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:37.320
smaller numbers actually indicate wider aperture sizes now on some cameras like

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:41.280
cell phone cameras the f-stop or aperture size is automatically decided

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.079
for you but if you can adjust it manually it's worth doing if you want to

00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:48.239
take a better picture by adjusting the aperture not only can you change the

00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:52.000
brightness of an image but also the depth of field depth of field is

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.960
basically the full extent of everything that's in focus in a picture a deeper

00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:59.640
depth of field means that more of the image is in focus and a shallower depth

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.239
of field means that less of the image is in focus Focus this means that a scene

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:06.840
can be photographed with the foreground and background blurred out which allows

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:10.799
for the main subject of the photograph to stand out more it looks really good

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.759
but when you widen the aperture the picture also gets brighter so you have

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.880
to compensate for that overexposure by adjusting other camera settings like ISO

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.680
or shutter speed some cameras like a DSLR can automatically adjust these

00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:26.960
settings for you when put in aperture priority mode since a blurry background

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.560
can look really good if done correctly I used to always take pictures with the

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.920
aperture set as wide as possible so a low F stop to give myself the shallowest

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:39.000
possible depth of field however lately I've learned that this very shallow

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:43.119
depth of field is not always desirable this was shot with a macro lens and the

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.640
focus is millimeter thin making it difficult to see the whole subject it's

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:50.600
up to you how much or how little depth of field you want for your pictures and

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.159
videos and changing the aperture is a great way to control that but if you

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:59.000
want more control over your facial hair I'd suggest Dollar Shave Club you might

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:03.560
remember that last time I did a spot for these guys I shaved off my whole beard

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:07.200
many of you cried out in protest and so I think I'll keep it this time around

00:02:05.479 --> 00:02:10.959
but I should probably continue to shave the neck beard and if you don't want to

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:15.319
be a neck beard you should join Dollar Shave Club Dollar Shave Club shaves you

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.080
time and shaves you money by delivering highquality razors to your door once a

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:22.400
