TAKE PICTURES or take pictures?

If you do not know, I love taking photos to other people, but also I got pictures of landscapes. What is the meaning of this title? This question can be doing from you to me, but, I ask you: Do you like taking photos? If you answer is right, You take the a pic, or the pic is taken by the camera for you? Think it just a second. My answer is clear, I take pics , I mean, I not only turn on the camera, press the button and than see my results, before each photo the are a lot of things that you have to keep in mind if you want to be beyond other people that say:"I am phographer, look my new camera" and they have bought it the last week.

What am I confused about? I think the most confusing for me is vocabulary and grammatical structu res. What do I need help with?

Outside of classes I use English to communicate with people online through games or understand guides and instructions, etc . What do I need to improve? More personal work. What did I learn about culture
