Meh.
I'm in the middle of editing pictures from my new DSLR to post for your viewing pleasure. All of them are either from the rodeo I went to two weekends ago or from a random photo shoot I did with Amanda that same weekend. Nothing really strikingly artistic, although I do very much like the way they turned out.
I'm slowly learning my way around the DSLR's controls. I still have a little bit of trouble with the aperture, but I'll figure it out in time. At the moment I'm waiting for GIMP to finish applying a filter to one of my failed shots.
Certain shots that aren't pleasing in terms of light I just apply filters to and call it art.
It's storming outside. And I hear random noises that are freaking me out. And I'm getting tired. G'night.

"small" aperture = high F-stop number. example: F-22
"large" aperture = low F-stop number. exmaple: F-1.8
small aperture = deep depth of field = more clear distance from foreground to background. (more likely to get clear everything; good for landscape, architecture, etc.)
large aperture = shallow depth of field = less clear distance from foreground to background. (more likely to get blurry backgrounds; good for macro shots, motion shots, etc.)
compensate the loss of exposure from a small aperture by lengthening the shutter speed, don't be like me and over do it though. the Av mode is a good place to start if you want to grasp at the differences between F-stops.
