I feel DUMB asking all of this. But I think I've just made it harder on myself then it is, and I'm totally confused now.
I thought I understood aperture. I know that the number represented on the camera/lens represents how big the aperture opens...and that the larger the number, the small it will open. I understand that obviously the larger it opens, the more light will get in...and vice versa.
But beyond that, Im kinda lost. I guess I thought that that was IT...now I see people saying things like taking it down by a 2-3 stops to get it more clear/crisp...and something having to do with the speed of your lens depends on the aperture and a bunch of other stuff that I just didn't understand.
Could someone either explain this all to me, or give me a site that explains it in a way I would understand...?
Thanks so much :blulsh2:
