The closer the camera to your subject, the more important a large aperture number is (why landscapes are all in focus and shots of your face with your hand out tend to be blurry).

(if apperature control use a small apperature like a 6 or 8 to ensure clarity of the whole car)
hmm so who is right? large aperture, small aperture?
we both are!
The size of the aperture (the opening in the lens that lets the light in) is inverse to it's "number", or f/stop. A large aperture number, like f/8, is a small opening. I used number in my post, as it's counterintuitive that to make the aperture smaller you make the f/stop number bigger.
