Hello, i've been reading a lot of stuff here and there, but still some are unclear to me.
It is about appropriate use of aperture.
I currently have a 17-50mm f2.8 lens and a 50mm f1.8
does that mean I have to shoot at 2.8 and 1.8 respectively?
I know aperture controls the DOF, but let's say on a sunny day and I'd be taking a group picture, it means for everyone to be sharp i have lower down my Aperture, but to what extent?
Is there any such guideline?
i.e. Sunny day
portrait 2.8 for bokeh also
landscape 9~11
group picture 4~5
when to use lets say 22 or 16 or 32, i have taken shots at 32 with waterfalls, it looksreally nice, but I dont really have a grasp of any guideline or expected result for a given aperture.
i know for low light condition I dont have choice but to increase the aperture, my query is typically on a sunny day.
Is my query valid?
Still a noob here and learning
