You are asking to learn the entire basics of exposure by getting a paragraph of “tips” from unknown people on line. It doesn’t work that way. To learn the basics of photography, you have to pick up a few books, or take a class, (which will also involve books) and put in lots of brain work and practice. Here are a couple of links that will help you learn a bit about the basics and get you started.:

“Understanding Exposure”, by Bryan Peterson should be in every hobby photographer’s library.

I have several “favorite” photographers: Paul Buchanan, David Meyer, Patrick DiFruscia, Galen Rowell, Ansel Adams (you will find his name on a lot of lists,) and Irving Penn to name a few..

Photography is fun and rewarding, but to become proficient at any level you will have to put in some effort. Best wishes and happy shooting!
