One of the cool things about using a digital SLR is that it's easy to adjust things like Shutter Speed. You have a lot more power than you do with a point and shoot camera.
The shutter speed of a camera is how long the lens is open to let light in. Slow shutter speeds make it possible to take pictures when it's darker out.
Faster shutter speeds mean you have to be in a brighter place, but the advantage is you get to freeze motion and have less blur.
Here is water pouring into my can at a series of different shutter speeds that illustrates the differences at different settings.
