I see images posted here and elsewhere and most of the time the aperture people use are either the widest the lens has or it\'s f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22. I hardly see people saying their image was taken at f/7.1 or f/13 or other f-stop numbers.
Why is that? Is there something special about those four f-stop numbers apart from 8 being half of 16 and 11 half of 22? Just beginner wondering.
