    Don't be ashamed at being clueless about photography, we all are at the beginning! The best thing about our cameras is that a well trained monkey can use them. The auto functions do what they're supposed to and the user manual is easy to understand!

    You've picked up photography 101's basic rule of thirds. 1/3 foreground, 1/3 object and 1/3 background and that's where it all starts!

    Tip 1: Take photos of your car on overcast days. In queensland where overcast days are hard to come by, adjust the ISO setting to a lower number so the camera captures less light (around 200-400).

    Tip 2: Waterfalls look fantastic when you can't see a single droplet of water falling......weird huh? What you're aiming for is a sheet-like effect of the water falling by slowing the shutter speed down. Approximate the time it takes for the water to fall to the bottom, round up to the the nearest whole second and that should be a good start point for the shutter speed (getting slower from there).

    Eg:

    Best way as Poita said, get out and learn.
    Use online tutorials to get the basics, but just keep practicing.
    If you want any tips, just let me know
