Photography Sessions - Using an SLR.

We went over the basic settings of a SLR camera, and if I'm honest, I've been over them a few times before, and yet I still can't get my head round it. It's completely different when you've actually got a camera in your hand, I just don't know where to start. These pictures aren't brilliant, it really is just me playing around with a camera, but hey, thats how you learn right?

I've tried to use as much settings as I knew how, but I'm still struggling.

In focus and using about 30 sec shutter speed

Out of Focus (and also using a long shutter speed)

I really want to be able to take a great picture. Luckily my elective is digital photography, so hopefully that will expand my knowledge a bit. But until then I've been looking through websites, and have bought the book 'how to photography absolutely everything' which hopefully will also help me.

Here's a website I've found useful:
