F2.8 

F16

1. It is easier to understand the concept if you just think about our eyes. 

2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-number, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-number.

3. The better and more focus it is depth of field seems to have a more clearer photo.

 High Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter 

Shutter Speed - the time for which a shutter is open at a given setting.
