Aperture. Playing with aperture can create minimum depth of fields or maximum depth of field, Depth of field means the “the depth of area that is sharp in a photo”. It’s the photographer’s creative call to either sharpen the foreground or the background. Minimum depth of field means a specific area is sharp and the rest of the picture is not too sharp. To create a minimum depth of field you must put the aperture to the biggest opening f.2 or f/2.4, by doing this only the image focused by the photographer will appear sharp and the rest is blurred as long as the subject is far from a background. Minimum depth of field is best used for portraits or on emphasizing a subject and then making the rest blurred.
Maximum depth of field makes all the images in the photo appear sharp. To create a maximum depth of field you must put the setting to the smallest opening such as f/16 or f/32. Maximum depth of field is best used for landscapes or documentary photos.

1. Shoot a subject using minimum depth of field
2. Shoot a subject using maximum depth of field
Tips: The aperture and shutter speed play a big role in the exposure of the photography; aside from exposure it also affects the depth of field of the picture. Remember to compensate the settings properly. If you want to blur a subject, set the shutter speed to a slow setting and the set the aperture to the recommended exposure setting or if you want a shallow depth of field for your subject. Set the aperture to the biggest opening or smaller number and put your aperture to the recommended exposure setting
