Buy some books that talks about Optics of Photography : The manual of your camera only describes the functionality of your device. It does not tell you when to use the different settings and do not illustrate with example. A special book will help the beginners to understand the basic concepts and make adjustments accordingly. Else you can read the whole section on Digital Photography for basic idea.

Experiment with your camera : Photography can be very technical, however it has the advantage of being a visual element. Thus, the concepts of “technical” will immediately speak louder when looking at the pictures taken. You can then easily identify the settings to the real life.

Analyze the photos taken on your computer : Take pictures in the field and analyze on your computer screen. The LCD of your camera can not serve you as you make sure your photos are sharp, properly framed or under-exposed or over-exposed.

Subscribe to a magazine explaining photos : Taking great pictures is above all is knowing how to compose the images. To progress in composition and understand why a picture tells a story you must exercise your eye. By subscribing to a magazine explaining the composition and defects of pictures, you make a big step forward.

Submit your photos to understand the defects : In the forums you will find sections dedicated to the critical picture where beginners are welcome. Feel free to submit some photos to see how others see them. Make sure you are dealing with expert eyes and flee worthless comments like “it is beautiful” or “I like it too,” and prefer comments that explain the why.

Get inspired : Look beautiful pictures and try to understand why it emerged an emotion, tell a story: where are the strengths? Which begin and end the lines and curves? What are the colors that are used in the composition? Why cut a subject is not a handicap to read the image? DeviantArt is the best place to get inspired.

Take lots of pictures and understand what is wrong : Take lot of pictures. There can not be a day when you will not take at least one picture. The more you more you practice, more you will progress. This is true as long as you take the time to analyze your photos and you understand what are the flaws and strengths of you and your camera.
