Make friends! That's the best way, learning from one another. Find other people interested in photography, there may even be a club or something in your area. Don't be afraid to experiement, express yourself and take the pictures you want. Landscapes are a lot of fun, try different angles, and watch your lighting, shadows, etc. Keep an eye out for great sunsets/sunrises, look in your area for architecture, go to a park or field.. there's all kinds of things to take pictures of even in your backyard. A great time to take pics especially in the summer (I live in KY so it may be different in other places) is at around 7 in the morning. The light has a really nice golden quality that makes beautiful pictures. This website is kinda neat too. Might be worth looking into. http://www.photographytips.com/ Good luck!

You do understand that getting a "professional" camera won't automatically give you professional level images, right? Landscape artists study the art and perfect their technique throughout their lives, and that is what you'll have to do if you're serious about getting great results. Start with good beginning books on technique, camera function, composition and exposure. Your camera manual, of course. Take some classes and study the works of folks in magazines like National Geographic and the photography magazines like Outdoor Photographer and Shutterbug. Learn and practice and have fun. They won't all be keepers, but the beauty of digital is you can shoot plenty and try different settings and compositions. Enjoy your new camera!

Well, since you state you bought a professional camera, and setting aside the fact it seems you don't know anything about it, I will say, you need at least a 20mm for that type of photography. That is, if you have a full frame DSLR, which are the professional cameras. Now, you must know you need a wide angle, wide aperture lens, which should include a rose petal lens hood as well. Be looking to spend anywhere from $600-$2,000 for a professional lens to go with your professional camera. Now, Nikon has the 10.5mm f2.8 ED lens with CRC, that close range correction technology, which is also on several older Nikkors, such as the 60mm f2.8 macro. But, you should know all about this, right...?

you have to know the capacity of your professional camera. if its a digital slr, then there are lots of helpful sites in the net. practice and discover. a tripod is best when taking landscapes and panoramic pics.
goodluck on your search. canon, nikon, and olympus have lots of tips on their websites.

Maybe a community college, photography club, etc...
Do you actually know anything about photography?? Find someplace where you can get hands on training from a real person.
