Photography basics, your best friend is,....

Your owner's manual! Read it, and don't just read it, read it with your camera out and DO push the buttons, switch the switches, knob the,...knobs (?) hmmmm that doesn't quite sound right.
Anyhow take out your camera, take out your manual, read and do. Only through reading your manual can you fully understand your camera and what it can and cannot do for you!
I'll bet you find that it can a lot more than you thought it could,...whatever you do, do not set your camera mode to the little green box, even if you just have a compact point and shoot, pocket camera, use the modes. I'll be going into what these modes actually do inside your camera in order for you gain a level of control of your images, only then can you begin to really create images based on what the meaning behind the image is!
If your camera offers aperture priority mode or shutter priority mode use these unless you are shooting in manual mode.
More on modes and what they do in our next post!
