First, I just have to say how much I love recognizing the little "tender mercies" or coincidences that pop into our lives. Saturday I commented to Ken that it would be nice to maybe drive over to the Hood River area for some fresh autumn apples. Two days later, he came home from a Church meeting with a small bag of new apples! One of the Bishopric members had just been over to Hood River the day before and decided to bring home a few extra to share. MMMmmm, they are good!
Today I took three of these apples outside to play around with the aperture settings with and without the zoom on my camera. I think I'm "getting it"....sort of. It's going to take a lot of practice and repetition to stick in my head, though.

Whoa, I get the concept. Little aperture = monster apples. Do they taste better with the smaller aperture setting?
Hmm, actually I'm not sure why your camera is zooming in as you change aperture... but the concept is: larger aperture (smaller number) creates a shallower depth of field. Smaller aperture (larger number) gives you a deeper field of focus.
This reminds me of my first photo class in high school.
