I got my hands on an used Sony A6000 with stock 16-50 lens and I am wondering what should I start with to learn how to use it properly and shoot better photos. I have literally no experience with photography besides shooting iPhone pics when out and about so just as much as everyone around. Just shooting photos with automatic settings probably won't take me anywhere so I am looking for a recommendation of source that covers absolute basics of photography for example in a form of a course. Could you recommends something accessible for total beginners that explains every basic term? Thanks!

It feels like I'm going crazy because I've been trying to find this thing for years with no luck.

A very long time ago, I got a 3D puzzle of the globe made of disks that needed to be stacked on a spike. Like a decorative Hanoi Tower puzzle. Wasn't particularly difficult but it looked really cool after sticking the pieces together and painting. Unfortunately it was lost while the family moved back in 2005 and figured I could just get another one and a few other designs. No dice. Anywhere. Local games and hobby stores never stocked it. Later, Google was no help. My family don't even remember seeing it so there's a chance I might be hallucinating.

Every few months I get a brainwave of new search terms to query with no luck and I keep putting off just asking online. But now that I've almost finished my new office, I really want it on my shelf.

So anyone know anything about it or am I better off making it in CAD and CNC cutting my own thing?
