Depth of field is one of the biggest ways. Also when taking pictures in darker areas you can open the aperture for a faster shutter speed so you wont always need a tripod.

Yes focus on one depth while the things behind or in front of will be out of focus.

The higher the aperture, the greater the depth of field, or the greater the distance the objects in the shot will be in focus. So, for instance at f/4, you get things in focus at roughly 4x the focal distance. But at say f/11, you get everything in focus at 11x the focal distance. Make sense?
The other numbers you're talking about (1/50 and 1/1.3) are shutter speed, or how long the shutter actually stays open when you activate it. The lower the number (1/50) the faster the shutter will open & close. The higher the number (1/1.3) the slower it will activate. So at 1/50, the shutter only stays open for 1/50th of a second, but at 1/1.3, it stays open for just under a second, which means that the 1/50th is much faster.
Here are a couple examples of DoF for you to consider. And I'm by no means a professional, but you can see that in the first pic, only what's really close is in focus and everything else is blurred. In the 2nd picture, because I used a higher aperture, things that are further away are in focus as well.
Aperture set @ f/2 and shutter speed @ 1/800
Aperture set @ f/4 and shutter speed @ 1/13

IIRC this is f/1.8 See how the background is all blurry if I took the same picture with a higher aperture it would be fully focused.

Ready to race!
Theres really nothing in focus in the above picture...lol.
