RE: Actually Learning Photography

Beautiful photos. The photos with the point and shoot camera are great, but I think you'll feel a lot more pride for your work when you really get to learn the new camera.
It seems daunting, because it is complex, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
You're doing great with the kit lens, but I think a game change would be to get yourself a little 35mm or 50mm prime lens. I have a 50mm with an F1.8 and it allows for some amazing close ups with a really shallow depth of field.
I'm more into videography, but one thing I loved doing for photos was light painting. It's so much fun. You set your shutter speed as low as it can go, place the camera on a tripod to keep it still and then take the picture.
The shutter stays open for a few settings, and then just move some coloured lights in front of it until it shuts.
I can't find the original, but here is one I took for a local band. I just had the shutter open, waited for a car to pass and took the picture. It's important though that the camera and subject stay perfectly still

ngl the different lenses feels so daunting for me. It's like a whole research and experiment on its own. Currently, I am looking for a macro lens that fits this one camera. I am also exploring videography, it's really fun. Though with videography, it's a lot more complex due to the editing process.
