At last! Aperture, f/numbers and depth of field explained in a way that makes sense! We look at understanding ‘Av mode’ / ‘A mode’ on your camera, some common issues and problems, how to get the best blurry background for portrait photos and a deep depth of field for landscapes, finishing with practical session #2.

Previously $480, this popular photography course by award-winning Australian Geographic photographer Chris Bray’s is now online! Parts 1-5 are FREE and Parts 6-10 only $5 each. Don’t forget to watch the other videos in this series and buy the photography course handbook (now available as an iBook too) and summary clip cards (also now an Apple and Android app) at www.ChrisBrayPhotography.com.

    Thanks for slowing it down and stepping through it. Others on the topic I think like to explain how much they know vs teaching.

  30. Les Henderson says

    From a Kiwi to a Aussie. I can understand what you are saying. You are bloody good. Thanks very much mate.

  31. Odonata Lover says

    The 1/3, 2/3 distribution of DOF changes to 1/2, 1/2 when taking macro shots. Worth remembering. One thing you missed out is that DOF is a function not only of aperture size, but image magnification as well (NOT focal length as some will tell you!)
