Aperture.
Aperture can be tricky if you don't know whats going on. Don't worry if your shooting with a point and shoot, aperture is automatically set for ya. For all you DSLR users it can be set automatically as well by setting the camera to AUTO. But for the adventurous photographer who wants to venture outside of AUTO and Aperture priority mode ( a setting that picks the aperture automatically in conjunction with how you set the shutter). Aperture is discretionary depending on the shot if you want a deep field of focus use shutter settings anywhere from f/16 to f/22 this will give you almost full focus throughout the frame. Smaller aperture such as f/2.8 to f/5 wil give you shallow focus on the background and sharp focus on your main subject (such as the squirrel sample photo i shot in Yosemite). Aperture is tricky yet it allows you to take creative shots that can make your shots stand out.
