Aperture is the size of the hole that light has to pass through to get to the photo paper. An aperture with a small number would be a big whole and vice versa.
In practice: If the shutter speed was high (short) the aperture would be low, meaning a large hole, so that the amount of light hitting the photo paper was correct.
If the shutter speed was longer, the aperture would be a high, meaning a small hole, so that the correct amount of light met the paper... and not too much or too little.
It is also how you control the depth of field in your photograph. Small aperture gives you a deep depth of field, and a large gives you an area of sharp focus.
Hope that's slightly helpful!

∙ 7y agoThe aperture in a Camera, is the part of the lens you can move that helps you determine how much light you are allowing to hit your film when the photo is being taken. Your aperture and your shutter speed tend to work hand and hand with each other.

It is usually able to be adjusted, either manually or automatically. The size of of the aperture adjustment is usually referred to as the f stop. The speed at which it opens and closes can also be altered

What was a box camera used for?
To take pictures, like any other camera. The Brownie Box camera by Kodak was one of the first mass produced ones and was named because it looked like a box. The earliest ones had to be sent to Kodak to have their film removed and replaced. They had no flash, no focus or aperature settings and worked outdoors.

What is the difference between a camera hog and a camera ham?
A camera hog "steals the spotlight" from others, while a camera ham is a very over-enthusiastic model for the camera, loves the attention, and loves to be photographed. A camera ham doesn't mind sharing the spotlight. And to think I thought a camera ham was a camera hog that had been "cured". ;-) Micron

How does the aperture affect exposure?
If you think about your lens like a papertowel tube over your eye. Now constrict the tube so that it is thinner. This is what the aperature ring does on the end of your lens; it constricts the light flow so that you don't have overexposed images, or helps you to bring out certain colors if you are doing artistic shots. Experiment with changing the aperature in the same setting, you will understand how it works. If you happen to have a non-digital lens lying around, change the aperature off the body, and you will have a perfect understanding how it works.

How is the sharpness of the image affected by the size of the aperature?
The smaller the aperture, the sharper the image. If your question is WHY that happens, hopefully another contributor will help out with that answer.
How do you correct Spherical aberration?
You 'stop down' the lens, meaning you shrink the aperature so that light can't refract through the very edges.
