I cannot believe they put this one in, stated absolutely absolutely WRONG!

You decrease the diameter of the aperture, the opening, (thereby increasing the value of the number associated with that aperture) to increase the DOF zone...but one should not think about the magnitude of the f/number, as f/22 is not a 'large' aperture!

You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost! Keep POTN alive and well with member support https://photography-on-the.net/forum/donate.p​hp

One moves up in aperture to stop down to a smaller size. It is a very weird quirk of language that has evolved based on the shorthand notation used and lax language. "Increase the number displayed for your aperture value to narrow its size to allow a greater depth of field to allow more of your subject to appear in focus"

Another example of the similarly twisted language is 76, "Use a shutter speed OVER 1/1000th to freeze motion". It might be wrong and rather nonsensical when you both to think about it, but a huge portion of photographers apparently seem to roll with it and have no problem understanding once they learn the general context of the exposure triangle. Honestly it is actually kind of an amazing aspect of the human mind if you stop to think about it.
