📷 How to learn the basics of manual photography?

I want to learn how to get outside of the Auto setting on my camera. I want to learn how to take advantage of the camera and learn how to adjust it to take photos. I want to take pictures of birds in trees and at feeders and the moon when it’s big and beautiful.

There’s a trillion courses and Youtube videos and guides and I am a little overwhelmed with all of the options. I need a beginner resource. I’ve tried a bit here and there before but never devoted the time to it. This is the year I’ve set aside time (and money) to learn.

I am happy to trade money for knowledge. Any recommendation on resources?
