Noob alert! - New camera :)

[Haly]

I have a new camera Actually I should say we. My Mum and I have bought Stan's Fuji S6500 (thank you Stan, you absolutely rock!) and it arrived today.
As soon as my Mum got home, we set off to some local ponds to take some photos.

And here they are! Please bear in mind that a) I have never ever had anything remotely as complex as this before, and for the past 2 years I've relied solely on a phone camera thus I'm a big, big noob and b) I have extremely limited photoshop skills so for the most part these have just been cropped! Oh and apologises if you get bored! But do scroll down for the questions

Oooh and my question: Any suggestions for resources for advice? I.e. books, magazines, whatever? There's so much to learn! But I'm enjoying it hugely already.
