i didn't mean to offend you, but "learning" photography is learning mechanics that are best understood not with digital tools.
if you have a DSLR, what i said was true: put it on manual and see what happens. go out and shoot.
i have two courses in photography from undergraduate school, then i spent six years with a camera everywhere i went. i now have a masters in photojournalism.
believe me, teaching yourself is the way to go. you will go through rolls / gigabytes of worthless shit. but the life of photographer is one outside - in the streets and alleys adn on the rooftops, trying and failing. nothing is going to teach you photography the way taking pictures without a care or notion in the world will. it's how i (and any photographer friend of mine worth a damn) got to be where i am.
