What I would like from you folks is some guidence. I'm working through the tutorial section but any insight would be helpful.

My advice, for what it's worth, is to first read the camera manual and learn how to control the camera. It doesn't matter what you learn about photography , at this point, untill you learn to function the camera. A well composed shot is worthless if the camera isn't set up right.
After you learn the camera, set it to full manual mode and shoot alot. Learn how to control the aperature;shutter speed;and iso to get the proper exposure. After you get that down, keep adding to it.
Don't worry about post processing,try to get the best straight out of the camera images you can.
Read everything you can get your hands on.
