Got a Nikon D3200 2 weeks ago. Still cannot take a good photo on manual. Where do I start?

I have invested in books and watched some YouTube videos but I still don't feel like I fully know where to begin. Is there an order to set up for a decent photo, like set aperture first, then shutter speed, then iOS then white balance and shoot… Please someone put me out of my misery and help? I will not be defeated I am prepared to put time into learning this:)

Astrophotography tips for a beginner? is it me or my out of date camera?

Beginner here, I've been getting into photography over the past 8 or 9 months or so. Recently tried my hand at photographing the stars and have had mixed results. I'm using a nikon D50. I've been experimenting with my 18-55 lens and have had bad results. With my 50 mm prime lens I get decent shots. I'm shooting from a tripod, I use a 2 second timer to reduce camera shake, I've varied from f5.6 to f1.8, 200 iso to reduce noise, and shutter speed anywhere between 10-25 seconds. I think my white balance set to direct sunlight has done the best. I can take several shots using same settings, some blur and some don't. I've removed the filter in hopes to reduce any glare. Any tips? How do I get good photos of the stars? I'm also interested in trying this with my 35 mm slr if anyone has any additional info. Thanks.

Is it better to get the 18-200 mm lens instead of the standard 18-55? Nikon?

For nature/pet photography.

I'm trying to get closer pics of my pets as well as nature and it seems 18-55 mm isn't as sharp as i would like it to be.

My question is the 18-200 better all around? If so, do ALL nikon lens fit for all nikon DSLRs? I have a D3200. Also I'm not sure why the pricing range is so different. Ranging prices for 500-800$ new but different "f " which I'm not sure what it means yet.

Will Nikon SB-28DX work in ITTL mode with D600?

Hi and thanks in advance for you help.

I am looking at buying a cheap new or second hand flash for my camera Nikon D600. I am new to flash photography and am not looking at spending allot till I get used to it and lean the basics.

I have a friend who is offering me his Nikon SB-28DX for only £50 but my question is there any limitations against or advantages for using this flash on my D600 and does the ITTL work or is it even important. I like doing portrait photography so I want to make sure it's ok.

I have been looking on google but cant find any answers that directly relate to the D600.

Thanks

Can you make a living with a crop sensor DSLR?

I have been an amatuer photographer for years and I've decided to try to go professional. I have been shooting great pictures with my Nikon D7000 and have accumulated a huge collection of great DX lenses. I have the funds right now to upgrade my body. I can afford the D7100 and I really like it, however I am concerned I won't be taken seriously with a crop sensor camera. I could probably afford the full frame D610, but is it worth selling off all my DX gear to get the much more expensive FX lenses? Can a professional photographer be succesful and taken seriously with a crop sensor camera?
