Challenge: Aperture

Time for another CAPTURE challenge!

This week is all about aperture!

You may send in 4 photos. One pair of photos must be of the same subject, and showing different apertures.The other 2 can be of different subjects if you choose.

For the pair of same-subject photos, you may change the angle of the photo as long as you change the aperture. One photo of the pair must be a small aperture (large number) and one must be a large aperture (small number).
If you cannot change the aperture, use 'portrait' mode for the large aperture (small number) and 'landscape' or 'mountains' mode for the small aperture (large number).

Tips:
Small aperture = more of the subject(s) in the frame will be in focus. A good choice for group (people or objects) photos.
Large aperture = the main subject will be in focus and anything around or behind it will be beautifully blurry. A good choice for portraits, or artistic views of many objects.

Example of large aperture (small number)

Send in your photos HERE by October 26th!
