- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am currently in an Introduction Photography class at my college and we are just starting our portrait assignment. I am a little confused with my aperature settings. On one of the first days of class, my instructor said that one of the main functions of the aperature is if you need to photograph something that is relatively far away. Now, when she assigned the portrait assignmnent, she said to use a relatively big f number (8, 11 etc.) to increase sharpness of the picture, but it seems this would bring the background into focus, and she doesnt want the background in focus. She wants focal seperation of the foreground and the background.
Also, she said that when i chage the f number on my camera, i should be able to see the sharpness change in my viewfinder, but i dont see any difference.
Any Help is appreciated.
THanks,
Seth Chapman
