Weekly Challenge – Change

When you change the aperture on your camera, it changes the entire depth of field.

Aperture at at f3.5 and shutter speed at 1/100

It is especially evident in macro photography.

Aperture at f10, shutter at 1/13
Aperture at f10, shutter at 1/13

I took these four photos of the gerbera daisy using aperture priority mode and focused on the center of the flower.

Aperture at f20, shuttter at 1/3
Aperture at f20, shutter at 1/3

You can see how the depth of field changes with each photo.

Aperture at f40 and shutter at 1.3 seconds
