As it has been a while since we did this challenge, and we have had quite a few members join to learn how to use their shiny new camera's with more control over the results, it is time to give the NTP challenges another round.

Our challenge to our members that want to learn to take control of their digital camera is based on the Learning Centre topic : Experimenting with Aperture

We would like you to set your camera to Aperture mode (sometimes called A or Av mode). Check your camera manual in need, on how to set your camera to Aperture mode.

We want you to go out and take two photos of the same subject. One at the largest aperture your lens will allow and one at the smallest. So take one photo at f4.5 (or larger - remember smaller F stop numbers are actually bigger apertures) and one at f22, of the same subject.

Post both photos in this thread, with comments about what differences you notice between the two photos , what the effect of aperture had on the shutter speed, and how you could use this difference to make your future photography more creative.

Looking forward to seeing the results and discussion.
