We encourage you to put your camera put your camera into aperture priority mode (A for Nikon and AV for Canon) set you lens the the smallest aperture number your camera will allow you to. Shoot everything you can for an hour. Shoot things up close, shoot things far away, shoot everything in the middle. Once you're done, change your aperture to F8 and take all the same photos at the new aperture so when you put them on your computer you can see directly the differences in the photos.
