Hahaha that's very flattering but it's all common knowledge really, this info is available in lots of places, especially online. When I started shooting ten years ago I'd pick up old photography books in charity shops and plunder them for useful stuff. Despite having no mention of digital stuff (and because of this too) they outline the basics of photography very well and make you concentrate on the physical aspects - getting it right 'in shot' with the correct angle, focus, filter etc.

As a result, although I've only ever shot seriously with digital, I stick to old-school darkroom techniques within Photoshop and I've got quite an old-fashioned ethic, effectively sticking with the equivalent of film choice and a limited range of post-processing techniques. But there's so much creative stuff which can be done with digital, it's a very exciting world nowadays, but as I say I'm quite traditional! There's many more useful sources than me.
