Probably the last of these for a while, as I'm off tomorrow to travel for a few weeks, but here's a sequence of different-aperture shots taken looking down a railing on the covered bridge in the gardens of the Heian Shrine (平安神宮) in Kyoto Japan, where my previous post left us.
Animatable (4 frames) — slowly sweep mouse from side to side to view different apertures

Though with fewer shots, this scene perhaps makes for a better example than the one I posted the other day in “The Effects of Aperture on a Subtle, Tranquil Cluster of Cherry Blossoms”.
Still, the shutter-speed one from earlier in the month (“The Effect of Shutter Speed on the Appearance of Flowing Water”) is better yet.

It could be interesting to choose apertures in a way to resemble the effects of different sensor formats.
For example, you could shoot at
– 1.4 (FX very good lens),
– 1.8 (FX good lens)
– 2.8 (FX normal lens, or 1.8 DX good lens)
– 3.5 (FX normal zoom aperture, or 2.8 DX good zoom)
– 5.6 (equivalent to 3.5 on DX, a normal zoom, wide end)
– 7.1 (equivalent to 5.6 on DX, a normal zoom, tele end)
– 11
– 16 or 18 (an iPhone 5s equivalent DOF)
