You'll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that's more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you'll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they're in the back yard, but there's really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.

There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.

You don't gotta pay $20 to have a chickpea on you.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it's hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it's just knowing that it's all "fake". The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It's like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it's missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.
