What is the one thing that has made you a better photographer?

Looking through the photos on this wonderful site I see such talent, which got me thinking that everyone had to start somewhere......... so my question is If you could offer only one piece of information to a beginner photographer (like myself) that has greatly improved your skills what would it be?

2 things for me - a full appreciation and knowledge of the exposure triangle, and the ability to "think" about what kind of pic I want to achieve - composition !

For me it has been and still is practice practice and some more practice.
I also try to think outside the box. New angles.

Knowing how your particular camera works inside and out, its abilities and limitations, and then practice, practice and more practice.

Quite simply; keep your eyes open for the unusual; take your time; take lots and lots of photos; see your mistakes, and learn from them; takes lots of photos !

Aside from all mentioned...Get out and shoot, and shoot till your trigger finger is numb.

Each time you use your camera, read the manual, browse a photo magazine, look at a picture or have a discussion, you will be learning and adding to your knowledge and skill to improve your photography. One day you will look back and realise how far you have come.

Proud to say it.
This site has helped me to grow leaps and bounds, with a little chuckle occasionally.
Thank you all.
P.S.
I look at my work 4-5 years ago and wonder why I stuck with it.
