Don’t Buy Expensive Equipment
Expensive cameras, lenses, tripods and stands make you feel like a photographer all right, but they don’t make you one.

Start with reading a good book that offers insights on the basics of photo ops, equipment and execution. Keep reading online to find new techniques that you had never thought of and see images that will give you better ideas on what photos you want to click.
Learn the Basics
Whether blogging, driving, playing a music instrument or doing anything new in life, you have to start with the basics. This is also why we suggest that you don’t start with expensive equipment. Get your hands dirty on the ground if you want to make it big, or simply be awesome at what you do. Zero down on one task and keep following up until you have mastered it. Then move on to the next. So ensure that you learn the basics before you move on to the higher aspects of photography.
Don’t be Afraid to Experiment

When you are a beginner, the ability to learn is more. With time, your mind becomes rigid and you become more averse to learning. So make the most of now. Travel a lot and keep your camera handy all the time. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, make notes on your phone or in your diary and keep learning. Apart from becoming a better photographer, you will also become a better and more mature person since you will have spent a lot of time traveling and exploring. All the best.
