The basics of aperture

[Stevies]

Hi folks,

I set this photograph up earlier with six of my wee fella's Octonaut men. I started with the focus point on the left hand man and at f2.8 and gradually worked up to f22 to show the difference that increasing the aperture makes.

The camera used was a Canon 60D, the lens was a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 and the lighting was from a Speedlite 430EX ll.

I hope this is off help to anyone who wants to understand aperture and maybe venture out of full auto mode. Click here to view the photograph in full size with the explanation.
