Virtually all photography hobbyists at some point in time become frustrated that they are not improving their photography skills.
The biggest cause of stagnation that I see in terms of photographic improvement is that people tend to not learn how to use the manual features of their camera. Owning a digital SLR camera and not using the manual modes is like owning a mustang but never learning how to get out of first gear. Using a SLR in automatic mode is just like using a digital compact camera - you are reliant on the cameras software to get the exposure right.
Technical Photography
Learning to use your cameras manual mode can be a daunting task. It amazes me how unhelpful most camera manuals are as they tend to be way too technical and have the effect of confusing the reader. What is required to learn to use your camera to it's full potential is a clear explanation with examples and exercises that allow you to practice the new things that you learn. The best way to do this is to take a course.
The Easiest Way to Improve Your Photography
Time and money often prevent most people taking a course in photography. However there is a better solution - home photography courses. These tend to be much cheaper than classroom based courses and allow you to study in your own time.
I recently took a course Amy Renfry that is aimed at amateur photographers that want to take control of their camera and improve the quality of the photographs they take.
