1.Concentrate on Image Composition
Image composition is something that makes a photo unique. So, you should learn how to compose your images. More than 50 percent of the amateur photographers tend to forget this.
You can start with the basic rule of thirds composition technique. There are many more composition techniques like composing with shapes, lines, horizontals, and verticals. You should know, which composition technique to use for different types of scene. These composition rules apply to all kinds of photography. It can be learned through practice only.

2.Don’t Invest too much in Camera gears and accessories
Just because you are capturing bad photos doesn’t mean that your photography is bad. Never complain about your equipment and go for a worthless camera upgrade. Your photos are getting worse since you are using the wrong photography technique. So, it is better to learn photography than to go for an immediate upgrade.
I would also recommend you to carry a single camera body with a single lens during your initial stage of photography. If you take too many camera lenses and accessories, then your concentration will shift to gears rather than the photography part. So, keep it simple.

3.Shoot Regularly
It is essential that you practice photography regularly. It will help you to become a fast shooter, and you will have good control over your camera.
If you are into nature and landscape photography, make it a habit of going out for photography at least every weekend. You will make some mistakes initially. These initial mistakes are good for you, provided you learn from it. It is a good idea to carry your camera manual during the initial days so that you don’t face any issue in operating the camera.

4.Learn Online
You can learn the photography basics online. Most of the materials are available in many photography websites and forum. So, it is good to follow some excellent sites and forums.
You can even upload your pictures to get feedback. As a photographer, it is essential to get feedback for your photos. You will get both positive and negative comments. In my opinion, negative comments are more useful than the positive ones. So, don’t feel bad if you get bad reviews on your photos. Work on the review comments and improve it next time.

5.Attend Photography Workshops
It would be good to join some good photography workshops to improve your skills. If your interest is in wildlife photography, then you should join a wildlife photography workshop. So, make sure that you choose the right type of photography workshop.
It is also an excellent opportunity to interact with many other fellow photographers in the field. You can exchange your views and interest.
Last but not least, make sure that you learn something new about photography daily.
