SLR Beginner tips/websites?

Tiffany5412

I got a Canon Rebel for Christmas along with a 75-300 zoom lens and a "nifty 50" lens for Christmas as well as the 25-75 or whatever it is lens that came with it.  I would really like to learn how to use it to the best of its ability.  Are there any good websites or blogs you recommend?  Tips?  Courses I should take?  I've always wanted to do photography for a hobby and am finally going to start doing that for myself and now that I've been done with my masters I'm ready to get back to learning something new.

Two Peas 12 week course is awesome!

Pinterest also has some good tutorials/blogs as well.

I started with Bryan Peterson's book Understanding Exposure.  It was suuuuper helpful and then I've just learned the rest via Google.

I once took a continuing ed class through UT to learn how to use my grandfather's old manual film camera. I bet for sure they have some for SLRs now. The Pioneer Woman's photography blog also has some really easy-to-understand posts and tutorials.

Ditto the Two Peas online course/guide, I have heard good things.

Congrats and have fun!
