Aperture is a function of a camera that allows the lens to collect light. It is the diameter of the lens that opens and is being controlled by the iris. The larger the diameter, the larger light reaches the film. It is being measured in 'f-stops'.
Shutter speed is when the shutter opens and allows light to fall through the lens, which reaches to the sensor. The longer the shutter speed stays open, the more light will be transmitted through the lens. If it is sunny outside, you would use a much shorter shutter speed. Mostly all cameras can automatically adjust to this speed. Shutter speed is measured in seconds.
My camera can't use the aperture and shutter speed mode.

This photo appeals to me because I love the color pink and enjoy taking pictures of flowers. I located this photo off of Flickr.com. I would like to recreate this effect because flowers are pretty much anywhere,easy to take pictures of, and the pictures always turn out beautiful.
I really like this picture because i like the beach and the sunset. The beach is one of my favorite places to go to. The picture really stands out to me because the sunset makes the people standing there look even better. I found this off Google.com. I would love to take a picture like this next time i go to the beach.
I really love looking at any photography pictures of christmas lights. I think it looks pretty. It stands out to me because the christmas ornament is close and clear, it really made the christmas lights turn out nice.
