Take pictures.
Look at them, carefully.
Read your camera manual.
Take more pictures, trying to avoid things you didn't like in the last
batch
and trying to reproduce things you did like.
Look at the new pictures and compare them to the old ones. Are they any
better? What worked? What didn't?
Read your camera manual.
Repeat...
Cl***** are good, reading books is good, but taking pictures is better.
And, knowing your camera is a prerequisite.
Good Luck,
Dudley
