Wide Aperture

Wide aperture refers to the opening in a camera lens that controls the amount of light entering the camera. Measured in f-stops, a wide aperture (like f/2.8) allows more light in, which is ideal for low-light conditions and creating a shallow depth of field. This means the subject can be in sharp focus while the background appears blurred, making the subject stand out. In photography, using a wide aperture can enhance creativity by influencing exposure and the visual composition of the image.
