(28) (16)EFFECT OFAPERTURE ANDSHUTTER SPEED A correctexposureis establishedby a combinationof shutter speed and aperture setting according to the subject brightness.There are many correct combinations of shutterspeedand aperturefor a particularsubject brightness.Different shutter speed and aperture settingsproducedifferenteffects.. o z o m.

(29) Effect of Aperture. Closed-down aoerture. The aperture increases or reduces the amount of reflected light from an object which passes through the l e n s ,c o n t r o l l i n gh o w m u c h l i g h t s t r i k e s t h e f i l m . l f t h e aperture is opened up to increase the amount of light, objects in front of and behind an in-focus subject will not be focused. That is, the range of focus (depth of field) becomes small. lf the aperture is closed down to r e d u c e t h e a m o u n t o f l i g h t ,t h e d e p t h o f f i e l d i n c r e a s e s . For instance, if you shoot a person against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front of and behind the personwill be blurred,making the person appear to rise out of the landscape. By contrast. closing down the aperture increases the in-focus range.. o z o m !. m u. = z o. Openaperture. www.orphancameras.com.
