Whatever the reason for your woes, a wide open aperture is here to help! With the depth-of-field being so shallow, whatever troubles you about the background can easily melt into a beautiful creamy bokeh. Maybe your client is only able to commute to one place? Maybe the location of a shoot that was booked months prior has changed for the worse upon your arrival on site? Or maybe you just have to get a specific photo done pronto and you aren’t able to find a new spot? Benefit #1 – Working with a Difficult Locationĭepending on the type of photography that you do, you may not always have the option of utilizing an ideal location. There are several beneficial reasons to shoot with a wide open aperture, aside from simply liking the result.
#BIG APERTURE CAMERA HOW TO#
There are common misunderstandings of how to use and work with a wide open aperture! If your artistic aesthetic drools over soft, dreamy photographs and creamy bokeh, then you better get ready to play with some low, low, low numbers.īefore we get to the “how”, let’s discuss the “why”. Stylistic choices aside, upon further inquiry as to why the response to a f/1.2, f/1.8, or f/ 2.0 f-stop yielded such results the truth came out.
“ I’d never shoot as wide as f/1.2” is a common comment I’ve encountered over the years of working as a professional photographer. Though absolutely spectacular photographers in the industry love working with a wide open aperture, there are equally as many who wouldn’t touch anything lower than a f/4.0 with a ten foot pole. Upon first glance of one of my most prized lenses, the Canon 50mm f/1.2L USM, a bewildered remark typically arises from professionals and hobbyists alike.
