F-Stop workshop (7)

This is my F-Stop workshop.

We make some orange juice with Sabrina (Sign) and we got a idea to make some photos from the oranges. So we have put the oranges on a plate and the camera on the tripod. So we have started to make our session.

Here I have a good picture where I can show you the differences between two different F-Stops (aperture).

This photo have a aperture value of 14. The oranges and lemon are sharp. One problem you get is that you need more light or a tripod, because a bigger aperture value closes the aperture and you need more light.
In my workshop I have posted a photo with a aperture value of 4 and you can see that the lemon and oranges on the background are unsharp.

In our last holidays I have made some mistakes with settings on my camera. We are looking some penguins in Otago Peninsula (Dunedin), I had my Canon 70-200mm F2.8 lens on my camera. The camera was in program mode and this was my mistake: It was in the afternoon and the camera set the aperture to F2.8 because of the darkness and some of my pictures are unsharp in the background or foreground :-(

Next time I will remember to this workshop and I hope I could help you too.
