Top bollock Frog, that was ace.

One thing, is there a typo in the aperature bit?. It seems to contradict on two points a) small aperature and greater light and b)wide aperature (F2.8) when F2.8 is small in the previous paragraph.

As we saw in the previous article, aperture represents the amount of light that is allowed through a lens, the smaller the aperture (e.g. F2.8), the greater amount of light passes through the lens.


How much the iris is closed by is expressed by the aperture you choose when taking a picture. A wide aperture (F2.8) will leave the iris wide open, allowing lots of light through, a narrow aperture (F22) will close the iris such that very little light is allowed through.
