How it's used
Photographers often use the term to describe the depth of field effect rather than just the physical opening. When someone says they want to open the aperture, they are usually aiming for a blurry background, which is a common aesthetic choice in street and portrait photography.

Common mistake
Beginners often get confused because a larger aperture corresponds to a smaller F-number, such as F/1.4, while a smaller aperture corresponds to a larger F-number like F/16.
