Aperture settings

hm..i would really want to know wht aperture settings is best for what kind of shots?

let's say..for long distance objects..wht aperture range would be better? how about close-ups? ;)

thx.

That depends on a few things, from your post it appears your knowledge on the subject is limited- let me explain a few things first...
The aperture is there to control how much light hits the film, the shutter is there to control how long the light hits the film. Both aperture and shutter controls have another purpose- different shutter speeds can convey motion or lack of, and different aperture settings (f stops) are used to control your depth of field (DOF).
DOF is basically the amount that is in focus in front of and behind the object you focus on. By limiting the aperture or closing it down, you lengthen the DOF. The smaller the f stop #, the greater the DOF, and vice versa. Since you need as much light as possible to focus, SLR's always have the lens set at it's widest opening (or smallest f stop #) to allow the most amount of light possible into the veiwfinder to help you focus easier. When the shutter fires, it triggers the lens to close down the aperture to whatever you set it at.
Now since proper exposure is a combination of an aperture setting and a shutter speed, modifying one will do the opposite to the other. Ex.- Small f stop #, slower shutter speed. Large f stop #, fast shutter speed. As you change one up, the other must go down.

So to answer your question It all depends on what you want in focus in your picture. Generally with telephoto pictures you use a smaller f stop # (wider opening) to limit the DOF, which also allows you to have a faster shutter speed, helping you to get a sharper hand held shot. If you want more in focus than what you focus on, like say you are taking a landscape picture and want as much as possible in focus, regardless of focal length, you'd use a higher f stop to give you the most DOF. Same can be said for wide angle lenses. Typically portrait pictures do not have a lot of DOF to limit the focus on the person. Macro shots can be the same, as lots of times the object being shot is so small that you need to limit DOF.
It's all subjective, and relative to what you're shooting, and what you want to final result to be.

assuming everything else is done perfectly such as focus, no shake, and so on so on

Typically, my lenses will work best at f4 or f8...
I dont know about your lenses.

Of course this is all technical data only

totally understood that, spec A...thx!
