You need a stronger base of the technical side of photography and how light acts.
First: Read your camera manual!
For further explanations of things covered there go to http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ there is more information here than you need, but make sure you bookmark it for later.
Stay the hell away from Manual mode (M). It will make your pictures look different from each other, but it won’t help you learn. Yet.
