In this video I explain the math behind f stop numbers in photography. I show what is the sequence of f stop numbers and how to memorize aperture numbers. It may seem odd but in reality it's very easy once you understand the science behind f stop numbers. Why those numbers grow when the aperture shrinks which is counter intuitive? Why those numbers have bigger gaps between each other the more you "stop down" the lens? You'll understand all that after watching this video.
