Seems the first topic that newbie photographers need to learn is Exposure. The second is Depth of Field. So a lot is written and experts expound theories and DOF calculators abound. But newbies still don't grok it immediately. How about some YouTube?

Whet Plent Ees It?
I remember when my Dad would have a tyre flat between towns. He'd hitch a ride to the nearest town, get a fix to the puncture (the spare would be bad or not useable for some reason). Meanwhile little boy that I was, I would be fascinated by the wild tropical creepers. This was a passionfruit species I think, it had small fruit that was sweet.
Later on, I would encounter it once in a rare while. This is one from Thailand, captured on film.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I seldom use commercial laundrettes - when I was younger, yes, I would go to the community ones.

Fun with an older digital camera
I took my 4 megapixel Olympus C-750uz out of storage, fitted the 1.7x TCON and went shooting with it as a second camera. I used it for long range shots. After moving on to a DSLR and coming back to this, I became more patient with it. Also, I'm taking the time to work with Photoscape, some Photoshop Add-Ins through Mediachance Paintbrush and Fotoflex (for frames). Hope you like these.
The Harley shot - I'm amazed at the clarity and detail. Hint: It's not monochrome.
Waiting for the ferry at Southbank - this one is Monochrome - converted in Mediachance Paintbrush, framed with the AAA Frames Photoshop plugin, resized using Bilinear 2-Pass and sharpened with USM defaults.
