Aperture
Taken with a Nikon D50 and AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G lens
As well as letting more or less light into the camera the size of the aperture you choose governs the 'Depth of Field'.
Depth of field means the amount of the picture, from foreground to background, that is in sharp focus. A smaller aperture will give you a greater depth of field and a larger aperture will give you a more restricted depth of field. This characteristic can be used to good effect in many ways.
