I have been playing with photography for over 7 years, but never been fully trained by instructor or taken classes. I learn from trial n'error and places like POTN. I know enough about camera to shoot in creative modes but would like to know more about the art and science of photography.
I like to take photo of people, landscape, and wouldn't mind to learn a few things about PP technique.
Are there a good series of videos (prefer) or books that you guys would recommend?

Thank you in advance.

The book I recommend first is usually Peterson's Understanding Exposure. But, depending on how much attention you pay in POTN, it may be too basic...

Well, start out with checking out the "Stickies" at the top of this section, some very good stuff!

As to post-processing, again check out the "Stickies" at the top of the post-processing section:

Thanks Tony,
That maybe a good place to start. I just placed an order for 70D +kit.
Hopefully, this holidays I have more photo to post and critique.
Thanks again to you all.
