YES I DO !! When I shoot out door portraiture with clients that I want to stand out from the surrounding by producing a shallow DOF I will almost always be shooting with a focal length of 135-200mm being as close as I can to the subject to get the desired composition as well as positioning the client away from the background I wish to Blur out as well as setting my aperture anywhere between f2.8 – f8. The point is all of these things equate to a shallow or deep depth of field I’m not saying your incorrect so don’t stress all I’m saying is there is more factors to consider. So yes in the very Basic form of photography aperture helps control DOF but I don’t agree the statement that “Aperture is DOF” But like you said you don’t do any of those things apart from changing aperture hey that’s fine and that’s how you work we all have different ideas when it comes to photography

By no means am i trying to play down that Apeture affects DOF im stating that there is more factors that affect DOF. Even at F11 you can get a pretty shellow dof depending on where your are in relation to the subject and where the subject is in relation to the background. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field "The DOF is determined by the camera-to-subject distance, the lens focal length, the lens f-number, and the format size or circle of confusion criterion."

This is not entirely true. Most cameras struggle to judge light the built in light meter is only guide and shouldn’t be relied on the histogram is much more accurate. This is why even in the basic function such at TV and AV you still have control over exposure compensation, Common problem is when there is too much white in the frame such as wedding you may need to dial in from 1 to 2 stops of overexposure so the wedding dress comes out white and not a dull grey, Also the reason we need or should use some kind of ND grad filter to stop our sky from blowing out leaving us with a white sky. And yes aperture has a part to play with DOF but I wouldn’t say aperture is DOF as it has a lot of variables such as subject to background distance and also the lens zoom. For e.g. the same shot taken with a 200mm @ 2.8 with have a much shallower DOF than a 50mm @ 2.8 as long as the subject to background distance stays the same for both shots.
