These strange colonies of mushrooms have appeared in the driveway so I decided to take a picture.
That's not the case here. The tele is f2.8 and the wide is f1.8. It simply has a smaller aperture.
iPhone 7+ used stock camera and slight brightness adjustment with the built-in photo editor .
Street photography - black and white.
uh no. canon makes 400mm f2.8, a 200mm f2, a 200mm f1.8, a 300mm f2.8 a 70-200 f2.8 and plenty other companies make a f2.8 or better with telephoto or super telephoto options.
the only time you'll get faster than 1.8 is if you go less than 100mm, which is still better than the mediocre camera on the iPhone 7
It's a ratio.
f stop= focal length/diameter of entrance pupil.
(Camera lens are compound lenses. In a compound lens system, the entrance pupil is the optical image of the aperture, as seen from outside the camera. The aperture is physically smaller than this, and is magnified by the front elements.)
Increase the focal length, and you need to increase the size of the entrance pupil to compensate. That's why cheap zoom lenses tend to be faster at the wide end, and slower at the long end. But if you can pay for the glass, you can get fast telephoto lenses with much larger entrance pupils.
So..
The iphone 7 plus has a 4mm lens and a 6.6 lens.
The 4mm lens is f/1.8. That means that the entrance pupil has a diameter of 2.2 mm.
The 6.6mm lens is f2.8. That means that the entrance pupil has a diameter of 2.35mm
The 6.6mm lens has the larger of the two entrance pupils. It has the smaller fstop, because it's not that much larger.
Daughter at the zoo...Loving the camera, so far.
Very well played. Cheetah print pants with the cheetahs. She fit right in.
too cute.
IMG_0041Stunning ! Did you use the standard Photo App to take it ? Have you edited it ?
