Why F-Stops Make No Sense (Until You Know This)

Ever wondered why f/1.8 is bigger than f/16? Yeah… it sounds completely backwards.

When I started photography, these aperture numbers looked like someone dropped a calculator down the stairs.

But once you understand one simple trick behind F-stops, aperture suddenly becomes incredibly easy.

In this video you'll learn:
• Why aperture numbers look so weird
• The simple rule behind every F-stop
• How aperture affects brightness and background blur
• Why portrait photographers love f/1.8
• Why landscapes usually use f/8 or f/11
• The lens sweet spot that makes your photos sharper

And if you ever get stuck choosing an aperture… there’s one number photographers have relied on since the 1970s.

Watch until the end, because I’ll also show you the big aperture mistake that makes photos less sharp.

📸 Perfect for: Beginner photographers, portrait photographers, and anyone learning manual camera settings.
