THE FIRST THING IS THAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT AN APERTURE IS AND IT' RESPONSIBILITY.... THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS A DIGITAL CAMERA... A MANUAL CAMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR FIRST INVESTMENT IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY. OTHERWISE EVEN THE MODES ON THE DIGITAL HAVE NO REAL SIGNIFICANCE TO YOUR WORK EXCEPT THEY SAVE YOU THE COST OF SOME FILM.

SO HAVING SAID THAT THE APERTURE CONTROLS MORE THAN JUST THE EXPOSURE, THE APERTURE AND THE SHUTTER SPEED AND THE FILM SPEED AFFECT THE EXPOSURES IN PHOTOGRAPHY DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED FINISHED IMAGE OR SUBJECT. YOU SAID YOU WERE CONCERNED WITH NIGHT SHOTS. WITH THAT IN MIND YOUR MAIN CONCERN SHOULD BE THE FILM SPEED IN SLR, FROM 800 TO MAYBE A 1000ASA'S. WHEN USING DIGITALS FIND THE MODE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THAT EQUIVALENT SPEED WITH OR WITHOUT FLASH ON A FRIEND OF MINES CANON, WHICH HE SAYS HE INVESTED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE CAMERA AND FULL SET OF LENS. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THE MANUAL HE COULD NEVER SET THE CAMERA PROPERLY .

IF YOU ARE ADJUSTING THE APERTURE YOU MAY GAIN OR LOSE DEPTH OF WHICH IS WITH ...ANY ...CAMERA A SACRIFICE.

IF YOU ARE ADJUSTING THE SHUTTER SPEED FOR EXPOSURE YOU MAY END UP WITH A BLURRED IMAGE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF THE SUBJECT OR BECAUSE THE CAMERA ISN'T HELD STEADY ENOUGH.

IF THE THE FILM SPEED ISN'T PROPER FOR THE CONDITIONS AND THE SUBJECT YOU YOU END UP SACRFICING IN BOTH THE ABOVE AREAS....

LEARN A BIT ABOUT THE FUNCTIONS OF A MANUAL SLR.. SLR IS STILL THE FIRST CHOICE OF SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS BELIEVE IT OR NOT....

THOSE MOST INTERESTED IN THE EXPENSIVE DIGITALS OR PEOPLE SUCH AS FRIENDS OF MINE IN THE NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINES


HOPE I HAVE GIVEN YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

This is a good question. I do understand what aperture is as I have had a SLR before. The type of camera being used and what the settings are for the camera will play a big factor in what you can do. If you are not sure then I would suggest pulling out the book that came with the digital camera and reading it. Yes it can be time consuming, but the more you know about the camera the more you will be able to do with it.
