Taking pictures.

Nice For the basics, the link is in my sig. As far as composition and whatever else goes, you can read all about rule of thirds, lines (parallel, converging, etc), colors (warm, cool), art of bokeh, etc...it would also help to be familiar with famous photographers. Not the ones from history of photography (well, you can always take a peek at Ansel Adams' landscapes) but more contemporary ones like Zhang Jingna, Chase Jarvis, and Luisito Alvina.

Also, when you're adjusting the focus on a human/animal subject, focus on the eyes; make sure they're the sharpest part in the image and you'll end up with the correct focus. This is very important when you're shooting with a wide aperture setting. And always take multiple shots to make sure you get it right. More often than not, when you're starting out, you'll find small things about your photographs that would bug you to hell. So, to be on the safe side, take multiple shots.

Have fun
