WHAT IS APERTURE?

Aperture refers to the opening of a lens’s diaphragm through which light passes. The larger the f/ number is the less amount of light the camera is letting in, meaning you are able to focus more things in the image.

WHAT IS DEPTH OF FIELD?

Depth of field (D.O.F) is the distance between the nearest and furthest elements in a scene that appear to be sharp in an image. A deep DOF means all or most of your photo will be in focus, including the foreground, subject and background.
