Hi mantone,
I too am new to digital photography and am struggling with some of the 'tools' available in the modern camera! I tried the favoured method of AV (Aperture priority) & messed up,so I'm going to use 'Speed' settings for a while & see if I get any better results! I must admit I tend to stick with ISO 100 and just experiment with the other 2 settings.If you have Lightroom or Photoshop then they can sometimes help with rescue-ing a shot,particularly now that rolls of film are not used very much and an average memory card can hold many,many shots and costs nothing to develop! Keep the 'junk' before deleting it, as you will learn more from your mistakes ! Don't use the term 'thicko', even Fox Talbot would have been flumoxed by even my simple setup,the main reason you're asking these question is because you're interested.
Final thought; make lots of mistakes and enjoy making them deliberately,THEN you'll learn.Have fun.
