-mshh's Guide to Automatic and Program Mode-
However great Automatic (AUTO) and Program (P) modes may be for snapshots, they definitely don't choose the correct aperture in most situations.
If you don't want to shoot at full manual, try starting with Aperture Priority (AV for canon, and AP for nikon).
Automatic mode or programed automatic mode will normally not choose large F numbers, because the camera doesn't think these apertures will allow enough light into the sensor.
If you want to shoot a landscape with a large depth of field, you will have to switch into a manual or semi-manual mode, because if not, your camera is going to choose too small of an F number, and you risk your image being improperly focused, and details you would have liked to be sharp, will not be.

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.”- Proverbs 27:1
Self-explanatory. You never know!
-mshh's Guide to 'The Sweet Spot'-
Lenses for your DSLRs most definitely have an aperture "sweet spot," or, an aperture that produces the sharpest possible images. This is usually a couple of F numbers (stops) from your maximum aperture (smallest possible F number).
Simply put, if your lens's maximum (smallest F number) is F/5.6, then your lens's sharpest aperture will probably be between F/8 and F/11.
In most DSLR lenses, if you can, try and avoid the extreme apertures. I know F/32 is there, but definitely try to avoid that.
Also, if you're shooting wildlife and want to use a fast shutter speed, try stopping down (using a larger F number) if you have the light available. You might be surprised how much sharper your telephoto lens is at F/8 than F/5.6.

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”-Matthew 5:11-12
Wow! I truly love this verse! I must say it as one of the first things I learned this year (because this is the first year of my life when I began to have an intimate relationship with my heavenly Father!). It has been complicated for many reasons, but the mayor one has always been my family. As a 'catholic' family, we have always known there is Someone greater than us, but that is not yet the true perspective of what He really is.
I had believed in God through all my childhood, but it wasn't sufficient. There were always questions in my mind, in my heart, in me! No one had ever taken the time to explain all this, and that led me to take wrong ways which I sometimes confusingly remember. This has been the hardest part in my entire life, but it has been the part that I would never change of it. Every bad look or every day without a talk with someone home has been difficult (I won't neglect), but it has been more than perfect in His plan! I wouldn't ever wanted a different way!
I am so uncontrollably amazed about how I feel when I read this verse! It just makes all this time make sense! I love all that He has done, how He has done it! And, most of all, I thank Him for that!!!
What I say to this is... don't try! Instead, declare! believe! Because HE has already given us the victory! Nothing that that horrible and pessimistic enemy does will ever change that! Let us be seated in heavenly places united with Christ Jesus! (Ef. 2:6) Let's take what is our's to take, waiting upon His promise! Knowing that we are to be rewarded according to His riches, we shouldn't be discouraged! Trust the only One that can be trusted, and stop hearing what any other person says! Instead, believe! So that you'll later see all that He wants for you! (2Cor. 5:7)
-mshh's Guide to Exposure-
Aperture will also affect your exposure time, making exposure a necessary element to consider when choosing your aperture (F number).
A smaller F number allows the most light into your camera's sensor, therefore needs a fast shutter speed. This is good for action shots, and other times when you need to freeze the moment.
A larger F number allows less light into your camera's sensor, therefore requires a longer shutter speed. This is good for times when you'd like to capture movement, smooth out moving water, or many other instances where a longer exposure time is best.

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,”- Philippians 1:9-10

-mshh's Guide to DOF-
Ok, so you may have heard someone about the DOF (something like "Great DOF!!!"). If you know what this means, great! You're not so much of an amateur anymore. If you don't know then, well, don't get scared!
DOF simply stands for Depth of Field. What this is, is the area of the image in focus. Simply put, in most situations, smaller F numbers mean that only a small portion of your image will be sharp (shallow depth of field), while larger F numbers mean that a large portion of your image will be sharp.
In order to achieve the effect some call "bokeh," of a blurry background, you want to use a small F number to separate your focal point from its background. (For example, photographs of birds and insects, with a blurred out background have a "shallow" depth of field.
On the contrary, there are instances when you'd like most of your image, from the foreground right through the background to be in focus. In these situations, such as a landscape, you want to use a larger F number. This will give you a larger depth of field, and place most of your photographs into focus.
