Favourite Aperture: f/5.6 or f/16? What's your favourite aperture? An f/5.6 aperture is the widest aperture available for most long lenses and helps reduce noise in low-light conditions and create creamy bokeh (by reducing depth of field to 20cm for a subject 10m away at 400mm). However, f/16 provides almost three times the depth of field (57cm) and the chance to sharpen the background a little—at the expense of three stops of light. Which do you prefer, f/5.6 or f/16? Horn of Africa Shot with a Nikon D850 and an 800mm lens at Kicheche Bush Camp in Kenya in January 2021. ISO 90, 800mm, f/5.6, 1/1000, -1 EV On a Wing and a Prayer Shot with a Nikon D850, an 800mm lens and a 1.25x teleconverter at Klein's Camp, Tanzania, in April 2019. ISO 2500, 1000mm, f/16, 1/2000, 0 EV #QuestionForGroup #favouriteaperture #capebuffalo #masaimara #kenya #lilacbreastedroller #kleinscamp #tanzania #onsafariwithnickdale
Favourite Aperture: f/4 or f/8? What's your favourite aperture? An f/4 aperture is the widest aperture available for a 400mm lens and helps reduce noise in low-light conditions and create creamy bokeh (by reducing depth of field to 14cm for a subject 10m away at 400mm). However, doubling the f-stop to f/8 provides twice the depth of field (29cm) and the chance to keep the background acceptably sharp—at the expense of two stops of light. Which do you prefer, f/4 or f/8? White Run Shot with a Sony ⍺1, a 400mm lens and a 1.4x teleconverter on Danco Island off the Antarctic Peninsula in December 2021. ISO 640, 560mm, f/4, 1/2000, 1 EV Tortoise Crossing Shot with a Nikon D810 and an 80-400mm lens in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, in January 2016.

Favourite Aperture: f/5 or f/10? What's your favourite aperture? An f/5 aperture helps reduce noise in low-light conditions and create creamy bokeh (by reducing depth of field to 18cm for a subject 10m away at 400mm). However, doubling the f-stop to f/10 provides twice the depth of field (36cm) and the chance to keep the background acceptably sharp—at the expense of two stops of light. Which do you prefer, f/5 or f/10? "Come on, darling, it's just a rock..." Shot with a Nikon D810 and an 80-400mm lens in St Andrew's Bay, South Georgia, in February 2016. ISO 200, 135mm, f/5, 1/640, 0.67 EV Backlit Beauty Shot with a Sony ⍺1, a 600mm lens and a 1.4x teleconverter in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, in August 2023.
