Photographers will drop the F word like a trucker...

NO, I'm not talking about the infamous F word you're thinking of...get your head out of the gutter!  I'm talking about F stops.  F stops, also known as focal ratios are critical to getting  a perfect photograph, or maybe perfect in the eye of the photographer.  In simple terms, an F stop contributes to the amount of light and depth of field in the image.  Altering an F stop can drastically alter a photograph without touching one other setting on the camera...

Check out the images below that were captured from the same point of view with only their F stops changed... Can you spot the differences?

So, try it out.  Go ahead and drop your F stops like a trucker...
