To change my aperture settings to aperture priority, I shifted the dial on top of the camera from Manual (M) to Aperture (A). The aperture setting affects the depth of field, the amount of the photo that is in focus. When you change the aperture number, you are choosing to prioritize a certain subject of the photo and have it come out with either one close subject in complete focus or have the entire area be in focus. You would want to use aperture priority when you want to do portrait shots as it focuses only on the subject and leaves the rest of the middle ground and background blurred. For landscape photography, a larger aperture number would be the best fit as it keeps all of the landscape in focus to properly capture it.

This is a photo done by one of my favorite photographers, Karl 'Shakur' Ndeili. In this photo the subject is the mountain background and winter river. This is a deep depth of field because all of the photo is in focus, not just the model. I think this is an aperture of f/22.

This is a photograph of a pay telescope viewer overlooking the Empire State Building. This is a shallow depth of field because the telescope is much more in focus than the cityscape background is. I think this aperture number could be f/1.8.

Aperture f/16 | Shutter Speed 1/80th of a second | ISO 100

the subjects of this photo are a small succulent plant in the foreground, stalks of a plant in the middle ground, and reeds in the background. The higher aperture number of f/16 allows makes all of the subjects of the photo to appear in focus, highlighting them as a priority.

Aperture f/8 | Shutter Speed 1/320th of a second | ISO 100

This photo of the succulent, stalks, and reeds has more in focus than that of the shallow depth of field. The medium f/number of f/8 keeps the both the succulents and the stalks in the foreground in focus, leaving the reeds out of focus.

Aperture f/1.8 | Shutter Speed 1/4000th of a second | ISO 100

In this photo, I decided to capture a succulent plant, some longer stalks of plants, and reeds. The lower f/stop number makes sure that the stalks and reeds are out of focus in the middle ground and background. This leaves the succulents as the center of attention.

Aperture f/16 | Shutter Speed 1/10th of a second | ISO 100

The boxes in a deep depth of field are all in focus. A deep depth of field allows allows more of the photo's subjects to appear in focus; it makes sure that all the subjects are prioritized, as opposed to those of a shallow or medium depth of field.

Aperture f/8 | Shutter Speed 1/40th of a second | ISO 100

The boxes in the photo are the same as in the shallow D.O.F photo, but two of them are more in focus. The f/8 number is a happy medium as it can capture more in focus than the shallow D.O.F can.

Aperture f/1.8 | Shutter Speed 1/1000th of a second | ISO 100

In this photo we see three boxes arranged in a line. This photo is different compared to those of a higher aperture number because the box at the front is the only one in focus, leaving those in the back out of focus.
