When taking these pictures, I noticed how the depth of field (DOF) had changed. Taking a picture with the f/1.8 aperture, the depth of field was extremely small. Only the first box on the right hand side was in focus while the other two were out of focus. The picture is also brighter since the lens was taking in more light. When using f/8 aperture, the middle box was mainly in focus while the other two still had a soft blur. This means the depth of field was larger than that of the f/1.8 aperture. Finally, the f/16 aperture made all three boxes come into focus and the borders and very far background of the picture were out of focus.
Aperture is the key to controlling the depth of field. When changing aperture, the smaller the f-stop, the more shallow the depth of field; but the larger the f-stop, the deeper the depth of field. On the camera when you use aperture priority, it allows you to change the aperture but automatically chooses a shutter speed.
