Well, BOOKS!

Books are a great resource.

Everyone always forgets books...

I second this. The ASC is a wonderful resource, also subscribe to their newsletter they usually have links to relevant articles that didn't make the magazine along with info about upcoming events/expos.

I also found these helpful:

A really good traditional photography course. Study the old masters (like Rembrandt, Vermeer, etc). Maybe look into a solid drawing class at your local community college. Make sure they have a good fine art program. I recommend working in charcoal.
You can find good tutorials on YouTube. Look for ones emphasizing shading and lighting. Also check out cinematography books on Amazon. There may even be some at your library if you've got a good one.


For CG specifically, this is a classic:

First off, I suggest buying a book from people that know what they're talking about. This one has high reviews. I suggest practicing all of the techniques. If you're going to get into cinematography a little bit, why not get into all of it? Good cinematography will help your films stand out. Lazy or incompetent cinematography will also stand out, but not in a good way.

Also, I suggest that you learn color correction from somewhere. Lynda is one place.

Also, once you get good enough, experiment with different things! You may find something you like, you may even create a new style. Who knows?
