Ok. Btw, i got a hand me down Canon 10d from my Uncle. Is that a good
camera to start out with? Thanks
It's a great camera and all of the EOS EF lenses will work as intended.
Just watch out about using EOS EF-s lenses, as their rear protrusions
could foul and/or damage the reflex mirror.
The 10D doesn't work with EF-S lenses (it's an EF-only mount IIRC)

You'll do a lot better if you find a beginning photography class at a
nearby community college.
Here's a few (in no particular order):

and, as others already stated - go take some pics. ;)
I will be happy to help you some with learning. I've been teaching
and shooting for 25 years.
Let me know if I can help.
