What thing should you know for the basics of photograper? (ex; aperture.. how it works how to use it)
What things should you know to be an ammeter at photographer?
What things should you know if you are a professional photographer?

I think i know the basics and need to know what tutorials to do now... (and later) for phototoraphy..
is it knowing what you can do with the basics and extent upon them? where do you start? where do you end?
Should i just go online and select a topic (ex; portaits) and learn bits by bits and try to put the pieces together and become good??? How does someone become good at photoshop either education online or t school... and do you learn more in school or online... (does it depend on your motivation and responsibility)
I know a lot of people have done above average at things and they dropped out of high school and heard storys the other way as well...
is there another forum for photography that i should use to get more peoples say or should i stick with this forum??? :banghead:

I'm not going to even try to address all those questions but here are a few suggestions.

Read your camera manual.
I'm not trying to be a smart guy with that comment, but understanding your camera and the functions are important.

Use Av not P or full Auto.

If your camera supports it shoot Raw and use Adobe RGB 1998 not sRGB.

Learn and understand how your aperture effects depth of field.

A lenses sweet spot as far as sharpness is usually someplace in the middle, f5.6 f8, something like that, there are way to determine that for each lens if your interested.

Learn how to use the exposure compensation dial on your camera. (very important)

Those are some basics but finally practice, practice practice.
With a digital camera you can take dozens of shots of the same thing with different settings and see what works and what doesn't.
