Aperture is the amount of light which is allowed into the camera, either creating a blurred or sharpened image around the main focal point. The more light which is allowed into the camera, the shallower depth of field (blurred f/ 1.4) but the less light allowed into the camera which is a deep depth of field (sharp f/22). The aperture on a SLR or DSLR is moderated and adjusted by F stops or F numbers.
During a practical assignments we experimented with aperture using our individual cameras to expand our knowledge on our equipment. During this practise I was using a 50mm lens which has the wide aperture of f/1.8, which the first photo the background is thrown out of focus, which is a demonstration a shallow depth of field. In the second image I used an aperture of f/22 which has put everything in the frame in focus.
