I've been reading a variety of books. One of the most helpful to understanding exposure and lighting is called, well - Understanding Exposure (by Bryan Peterson). I believe there is also a book out called "Learning to see Creatively" - can't remember by who.. but is supposed to be good as well. other than that, learn about all the features your camera has to offer.. and shoot, shoot, get critiqued, shoot, read, shoot, shoot, shoot.
p.s. get a tripod ;)

Remember to wear pants.
Look both ways before crossing the street.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
When in doubt, use brain.

And the most important lesson!
Make sure it is switched on before trying to take any photos! |

You know, when you show that thing in public, property values go up all over the neighborhood.
