Photography tutorials for a complete newbie??

[scrapperjade]

Oh my goodness guys, I am SO excited! DH and I were browsing through some Black Friday sale flyers the other day, and I stumbled upon a Canon Rebel T3 for a REALLY good price (about $200 less than regular price). So we bought it as a 6 month early anniversary gift, lol!

I am SO impressed with it, and have only really taken a dozen pics with it since we got it last night (DH is like a kid with a new toy, I can barely get it out of his hands, haha)... I've shot a couple in manual, a few in P, and a few in CA.

But I REALLY want to learn how to use this camera well. I want to understand what f-stops are, aperture, all that stuff. I've always had automatic cameras before, where I didn't need to know that, and I have been unimpressed with my photos for years. I want to start taking some GOOD pics, and need a good tutorial (or several) to walk me through some basics!

Thanks so much!!
