Now worries. Aperture is a little harder to figure out early on than iso or shutter speed, because it involves wrapping your head around a lot of confusing terminology and the completely non-intuitive f-number scale. I highly recommend the page I linked to for maximum aperture, it's got a really good description of what it means in practical shooting terms, and the visual examples are pretty good. That page is also part of a basic lens primer that runs through most of the features lenses offer and why you might want them.

I love San Diego, by the way, I am certain you have some wonderful pictures as it is such a gorgeous place.
Yeah, we do have an embarrassment of riches, here. I got no excuses for screwing it up as much as I do--I can't blame the landscape for being boring, or having nothing to shoot at.
