    Can you refer some professional sites for this?

    National Geographic site contains professional tips but applicable to all. I found kodak, and other camera manufacturers do have very nice tips for professional photography. [who] Harihara S

    The smaller the f-number, the larger the iris in the lens opens up, and the more light it lets in. There are a whole lot of other factors that come into play though (exposure time, ISO setting, whether you’re using a tripod, how much light there is), so you’d better do some homework.
