This week, we continue our media science conversation about cameras and talk about aperture.

Aperture is measuring using f-stops in a ratio or fraction. It measures the opening of the iris of the camera. In remembering our pinhole camera example, the aperture is how wide the pinhole is made. The f:aperture number means that the larger the numbers get, the smaller the hole is. The f stands for the focal length of the camera.

Playing with your aperture settings can produce some fun images. One example is bokeh images. For some great bokeh images, take a look at the bokeh Wednesday pool on Flickr. If you see anything that jumps out at you, leave the url in the comments.
