Understanding Exposure by Brian Peterson
I highly recommend his books.

Agree. Understanding Exposure may not be the first you need to read but if you continue down the path it is a MUST book for the beginner.

#1 if your work tends to be formal. If not then #4.

I know the spot. There are a lot of beautiful areas like that in our home state. Northeast Alabama is gorgeous.

If money is no object then the Sony RX100vii is the Best pocket camera you can buy! I own this camera so Iām not just reading off the internet.
I own this (and have owned others in its genre) and agree. Top to bottom features, it has no equal.

I also am not ready to give up on my expensive kits (sony, canon) and high end compact RX100Vii, but it is getting closer to the day of paring them down.
Since my last phone upgrade to the Samsung S22 Ultra, the kits have gotten a lot of rest. If is not moving, my S22 constantly nails focus, color, and lighting automatically that the kits just cant match (automatically).
Some of my disappointment is with all the new bells and whistles on the kits. When looking back at older photos, some of my best pictures that nailed everything well came from the much older Nikon D50, D40, and kit lens. I'm sure that some is from user error with the new stuff but my S22 requires much less user input than my newer kits.
Pictures of grand kids and grand views require mostly just the S22. We all still need the high end gear for the sports and long zoom but that may also change as the tech gets better and better.

I have a Sony DSC RX100 VII which I now take on trips, and it does a great job. It is a little noisier than my Sony A6600 at high ISO's, but Lightroom latest De-noise takes care of that. And it's much smaller and lighter, has a great pop-up viewfinder and built in flash.
Highly recommended!

I have the Sony RX 100 along with 2 full frame Sony's. I love this little camera. I have used it while horseback riding, and it fits in a pocket or small purse.

Ditto on the Sony RX100 series. The VI and VII have plenty of reach for travel. It was my only camera on a Disney trip and had excellent results. It's the perfect mix (imho) of quality and convenience.

AT&T fiber is about $70/mo and youtube tv about $75. So both for $150ish
You'll log in to youtube tv with your zip code and get local programing. All dvr is recorded in the cloud also. One feature I like...you search for a movie or show, click save and it will record it whenever or any network it comes on. All major networks are on there as well
And no, I don't work for YouTube tv :-)

We left cable last year, saved over $100/month and have not looked back. If you have good internet, stream!
AT&T is running fiber internet in many, many regions. We connected here, 500meg up and down. We stream using You Tube TV and miss nothing. Lots of sports and everything we watched on cable.
Both for about $150/month
