DSLR Camera Aperture Explained [Exposure Triangle]
Aperture controls, camera exposure, your depth of field as well as how much light comes in through the lens of your camera.

Aperture on DSLR Cameras for both Photography and Video and how it is part of the Exposure Triangle, and what that means.

Aperture controls Depth of Field on your images, which can be achieved with a Wide Aperture like F/1.8 but it also controls how much light is being let in through the lens. A smaller or more narrow Aperture like F/16 will give you an image where the background is very detailed and in focus. This could be good for architecture and landscapes, or when shooting large groups.

When shooting portraits for photography or video where you want to separate the subject from the background, shallow depth of field and shooting with a wide aperture is ideal.

To compensate in photography you will use a lower ISO like ISO 100 or 200 and a higher shutter speed.

If you are shooting DSLR Video in Daylight with a wide aperture, a faster shutter speed will not be an option so you will need to make use of an ND Filter or a Variable ND Filter.
