I was bored out of my mind the other day and wanted to experiment with the camera. I setup the tripod, mounted up the macro lens, and starting playing with the f-stop/aperture/depth of field. The goal was to see how the image changed as the f-stop increased, and show them in a photo timeline.

The differences from picture to picture aren't that drastic, but if you compare the photo with the lowest f-stop to the one with the highest, the differences are amazing.

I tried to post larger images, but they were way too big. If you would like to see the original images or more information about aperture, f-stop, and depth of field take a peak at the original article: Reef Aquarium Photography - Part 4 (Aperture).

Interesting how the picture became darker. At first I thought it was because of the light. Diff wavelength within the light sine. But seems like that's just the camera.

Don't have access to a computer at the moment to look at the exit. I'm interested how high of an iso did the camera jump up to..... Considering f/32.

Nice. I have a series similar to that for my photography tutorial I'm writing :)
