Shallow depth of field creates a beautiful “boka” in flower or macro photography and deep depth of field makes for stunning landscape photography. Knowing how to choose the right aperture setting to get the desired effect requires knowing how to balance shutter speed and ISO for the available light. This workshop introduces and demonstrates the principles involved in choosing the f-stop (aperture) required for the desired effect. The class will begin with a classroom lecture and demonstrations to give students an understanding of how to use aperture for a desired result. In the second session, you’ll have the opportunity to practice with the instructor’s help at the UC Davis Arboretum.
