    "understanding exposure" seems to be the book of choice recommended here normally - I have no idea who wrote it but shouldn't be too hard to find.

    you could always google basic photography terms, read your camera manual and test out your camera in different settings/modes.

    google stuff like, depth of field, aperture, shutter speeds, exposure times, relationship between aperture and shutter, ISO, ASA (american version of ISO) grain, post processing techniques, post processing programs, composition, rule of thirds, light, using flash, off camera flash, lighting techniques.....and I'm sure you can find plenty more while reading all the material that those terms will give you.

    +1 for Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.

    As a novice I'm finding this book really useful, and I'm not that far into it yet.

    A lot of the stuff in the book is also covered on the authors YouTube channel:

    If you like the YouTube videos, you will probably enjoy the book.
