How did you learn?

I have to agree with everyone else and say you seem to have the eye and the technique already, I think you'd find inspiration more useful than any formal learning.
Why not try something completely different (like macro, nature or portaits for example); different branches of photography will teach you different sets of skills as you go along, before you know it you'll be good at all of it.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Basically self taught here too. Most of my best shots have come from bad technique - e.g wrong aperture or wrong shutter speed, etc
for example: Shutter speed technically too low, but I'm glad it was.
Shutter speed was right. Good photo mate.

I really like that one as well.
When I say books I'm not a great one for reading reams of text about technique. I'm more into looking at the pictures themselves and the little touches that people have with light/exposure/composition etc.
Thanks for the comments about my progress so far - I'm probably quite heavy on the self critical side, which I don't think does any harm, but nice compliments never did any harm

The only books I have read and can recommend are the Michael Freeman series. They are quite in depth but make you think.
Don't be too hard on yourself though many of your images are far superior to anything I have taken after five years of taking photography seriously.
