Aperture is the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken. By changing the aperture in a camera you are adjusting how much light you are letting in the camera. The smaller the f/stop # the more light you are letting in, while the higher the f/stop # the less light you are letting in. Now if you have a smaller f/stop number then there is more light in the photo, with a small depth of field. While with a larger f/stop # there is less light in the photo, with a larger depth of field, and also the focus is more clear. Aperture, ISO, and Shutter speed all come together to create whats a called an Exposure Triangle. The aperture affects the shutter speed so the lower the f/stop # the faster the shutter speed, while the larger the f/stop # the slower the shutter speed.
