2 Qs re. f/stops In Jim Zuckerman's fundementals of photography course he has a great explanation of “Shutter Speeds in Combination with F-Stops”. I have a couple of questions tho’. Why are they called f/stops? The only way I’ve previously been able to remember f/stops is by thinking “large number=large depth of field, small number=small depth of field”. Yet this doesn't help me with the half/double relationships (increasing the light by four times with the shutter speed requires a four times reduction with the lens aperture). My technical inquisitiveness can’t help but ask the above mentioned questions in hopes of it all making a higher degree of sense. Technical mumbo jumbo and catchy rymes are sometimes both necessary for me to get things to thoroughly connect. :) 4/6/2005 2:38:49 PM |

There was a good discussion about f-stops here just a couple of days ago, and things got about as technical as could be. Try this link: http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/qnaDetail.asp?threadID=15282 or just cut & paste it. 4/6/2005 3:14:15 PM |
