The F number or F stop means focal length of the lens or you can say that measure of light gathering ability of an optical system. F stop number in DSLR camera depends on the camera lens . It does not depends on Camera Body. Your camera lens has define minimum aperture value or F stop focal length on lens . F stop Number also prefer for light optimization and how much light you allow inside the sensor of the camera. Also F stop or Aperture low value and high value makes different in Image in focus parts. Low F / Aperture value like F/2.8 make sharp image only on focus part and rest part in blur and high F/ Aperture value like F/20 make sharp image all focus part . When you Increase and decrease the aperture value or F number in camera you might be increase and decrease in Shutter speed and as well as ISO too.
Understanding F number or Aperture with Shutter speed and ISO :
As shown in main image you can easily understand how aperture or F stop works . It shows that when you use wider aperture like F/2.8 the aperture is wider and more light comes through your lens so the image will be brighter when you use low aperture value. As opposite using high aperture like F/22 the light comes less through your lens and the images are darker. But the main difference in using F number is focus part. It means that when you use aperture at low like F/2.8 your focus image only be a sharp rest part of image will be blurred. And in F/22 your focus parts of images sharpen not blurred I will show you an example of that . But while using F number F/2.8 to F/22 you need to change ISO settings and also A shutter speed too.
As Shown in Above image you can easily understand how Aperture works with ISO and Shutter speed.
One image is taken with F/10, ISO -250 and Shutter speed 1/400 seconds . In that image you can see the subject clear and also other part of the image also clear in background in compare to other image.
The second image taken with F/2.8, ISO-250 and Shutter speed 1/ 5000 seconds. In that image you can see only subject is sharp rest image is blurred. But the changes i made to shutter speed increase because when i use wider aperture F/2.8 more light comes through lens and image will be more brighter so i increase my shutter speed.
Another example of Aperture is above image.
One image taken with F/2.8 , ISO-320 and shutter speed 1/2500 sec. In that image flower looks clear and rest of image looks blurry . The other image taken with F/20, ISO-1250 and shutter speed 1/250 sec. That image flower with plant leaves looks clear because i use F/20 but in that case i need to increase ISO and lower shutter speed. Increasing ISO may increase noise in your image so if it is not necessary then don't boost ISO use only shutter speed if passible.
Some Facts to know about Aperture or F stop :
- F number decides how much your photo in focus
- Lower F number makes image Brighter
- Higher F number makes image Darker
- Aperture depends on your lens
- Different lens have different aperture value.
- To increase and decrease your aperture value you need to adjust ISO and Shutter speed as per subject and light.
I use Canon 100 mm lens for both above image with canon 80D camera body. Canon 100 mm macro lens has F/2.8 minimum aperture value. All lenses have different minimum and maximum aperture value. ISO and shutter speed depends on your camera Body. Some Camera body support High ISO with low noise too.

As per my previous post for Basic composition rules for Photography here i give you some advance rules for photography. Before know the rules first you should know your gear. Whichever camera you use first understand your camera. As there are lots of camera brands in the market like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony, Olympus, etc... all cameras have different body types and keys in different area. But whichever brand of camera you use there are same rules applied for composition in photography. The techniques and settings and rules are same for DSLR cameras or Digital Cameras. Also for different types of photography like Abstract, Portrait, Landscapes, Wildlife, Product, Wedding , Fine art, Sports etc the Rules for photography are same. If you want to capture good pictures follow some rules i mention here and it will help you for being a professional photographer.
How to become professional in photography ?
The answer is too hard work. To become professional you should work very hard in any types of photography. Understanding your camera and using basic rules and after that advance techniques helps you lot. Without follow some rules your photos cannot noticed by others. You should try to capture something new and something creative with good composition which attract users to see your images.
Rule Of Third : There is a cross line in every camera in display. If you are new then on that cross lines while shooting. After you can understand off that feature. While shooting photos the position of your subject is on cross lines for better pictures and better look for your photos.
In above image i use a water drop as a subject. if you use grid lines in your camera then you can see the cross lines on your screen is total 4 and you can put your subject on those 4 cross line and leave other space thats the rule of third. Same in below image using bird as a subject in the lower crossline. Thats make your image attractive and perfact if you use foreground apropriate to your subject.
Repetition : Look for repeat subject in a raw . Your object may be pole light, street light, pile of fruits, chain of poles etc. The repetition of subject or object makes image unique.
Repetition is also a good subject like electric pole, walls, roads, trees in line and also a birds of mammals. My image is not perfact in repetition but its gives you an idea for it. repeat your subject at regular interval and space in your frame.
Negative space : Always leave some space with your object in your frame. Some people make closeup shots with crop image but its not looks good . The subject need some negative space to move into. For ex. If you shoot solo bird on tree then you should leave some space in the direction of birds eye. That will make your frame perfact.
Balancing Elements : Balancing elements means balance your background interest with your foreground subject.
Symmetry : Symmetry means Half of your image is a mirror of other half image. Shoot your image like a mirror image or reflection of the subject .
Follow these advance rules for capturing images and i am sure you will definitely get better results. I will give you one more Bonus tips except this 5 rules is
Depth ( Layers ) : The position of your subject in front of and behind of objects to create 3D depth.

Photography is widely explore subject. Now a days peoples widely join in photography. There are so many types of photography with different themes you can learn. Here i suggest you some tips for basic photography composition.
What is composition for photography ? :: Create an image through a frame is the simple answer. There is no definition for composition in photography because different people has different creativity. So the frame is different for every people. But create your frame which looks very attractive than others.
Basic composition rules in Photography
- Framing : Frame your subject with surrounding things like trees or buildings. Like below image i take all tree trunks in my frame. You can also capture with leaves too to make your frame wider. For framing i suggest to use wide angle lens to capture more details in photo.
- Color composition : Choose different color for background and subject. For better result use opposite color for subject and background. As below image shows you a color composition of green background and pink flower. Flower is perfact for color compositoon images because different color flower mixed up with different background color. You can try with blue sky with flower it also looks good.
- Leading lines : It means create your frame by lines towards your subject. Mean Buildings,Rail Lines,Roads etc leading to the subject. Generally roads are good for leading line because it found everywhere. you can also shoot Rail lines for perfact leading line object. You can also take electric poles in raw for your frame.
- Differential Focus : Shoot your subject sharp focus to guide the eye toward it. Focus on your subject make your frame attractive and viewers attend your subject first. sharp and focused object image keep eye towards it. I take sharp waterdrops with blur background makes good image but not perfact.
- Patterns : Use pattern in your frame. Always look for naturally occur patterns in your frame. Patterns are really good to shot. I tried on trees for beautiful patterns. This also create abstract subjects too. Trees are natural pattern subjects.
- Depth of Field : Create blur background to separate your subject in your frame. Creating blur background in your image is good. Just need sharp focus on subject and rest all are in out focus. For this you need some zoom lens or canon 100mm macro lens or some prime lens like 50mm , 300mm etc.
This techniques or rules are basic for photography. Follow this rules before you start clicking. I will share more and some advance techniques later on.
This all images are taken on Canon Cameras model Canon 1000 D, Canon 6 D, Canon 80 D with different lens like canon 100-400, canon 50mm, canon 100 mm macro, canon 55-250 mm, canon 18-55mm etc.
Well these are techniques to learn photography. An easy way to learn follow these rules. These techniques helps you to how to capture images but at the end all creativity is yours. Always think creative for your frame. Do all types of photography not stick only one type of photography. That improve your creativity for photography.

What is HORIZONS ? :: The horizon is the apparent line that separates Earth from sky. The true horizons can observed when it lines on the sea surface. Also many locations this line is made by Lands, Trees, Buildings, Mountains etc.The Horizon line divides all visible directions into two categories : those that intersect the Earth surface and those that don't.

Horizon Height and distance calculation :
Well if you want to see horizon then you have to observe from 5-7 feet above sea level. Also you need clear land about 3-5 km distance then you can see clear Horizon line. In cities there are lots of disturbance like buildings, trees, towers etc so you can not see the clear horizons. For horizon line to see you need clear land area or water area. Best area for Horizon line is in between sea. In ocean there is clear Horizon line you can see easily. Also sunrise and sunset time horizons are amazing to see because of Twilight sky colors. Well all of these photos are not taken from 7 feet height and distance may not 3-5 km but its still you can see Horizons clearly. Photos taken from ground level but the rann area is clear so you can see horizons line from ground level.
For calculation of Horizon distance equation is :: Square root ( Height / 0.5736 ) and the result you get distance of Horizons.

The best place to see horizons are beaches. Because you can see clear line between Sky and Earth. Well where i live in Gujarat i have also one place name Little Rann of Kutch where i can see clear Horizon line as you can see in photos of Horizons.
