Oh thank you for a kind words!
I'm a newbie in photography myself. Tomorrow it will be a two years since I started to photogrpaph after I joined to Steemit.

A friend of mine told me that in a photo, it is necessary to spend 10 thousand hours to become a professional.
Therefore my advice will be simple:

• You must constantly take a lot of pictures.
• it is necessary to study the basic approaches to composition in the frame
• You need to study your camera and switch to using manual or semi-manual settings
• You have to look at other people's photos and remember the techniques used in them
• You can participate in photo contests and magazines in order to try different styles in a photo
• calmly accept constructive criticism and use it in future work

In addition, I believe that photography is not only what the camera sees, it's also work on post-processing photos.
Therefore, another advice is - you need to learn the basic techniques of processing and constantly process a lot of photos.

I say all this not because I appreciate myself or I think I know it well. These are just the steps through which I passed.
