Aperture

02.18.09 | Comments

Aperture is a ratio of the focal length of a camera to the diameter of the iris of the camera. With a wider aperture, which is a lower number, more light will get into the camera. With a more narrow aperture, which is a higher number, the amount of time the camera is taking that image is going to need to be longer.
