Like anything you want to practice.  In my San Diego wedding photographer business that is what has helped me get better in taking wedding shots.So in order for you to practicce your skills you must be willing to take shots everywhere and everytime there is an opportunity.If you are in a wedding, then take photos of that wedding.Capture some shots that a photographer would normally capture.You can compare your shots later on with the shots that the photographer took.

Also you want to practice taking photos at different times of day.  As a San Diego photographer we get plenty of sunshine. But even then you have to know how to use the sunshine for your photos.  By taking different photos of different times of day you will learn what works and what doesn't.And as you learn you will know what shots are the best at different times of the day.

Going to big events is another great way to practice your camera skills.  Events like a county fair.  Or events like a sports game.  Even a child's soccer game is a great event to take pictures.  Doing San Diego event photography has allowed to realize how different the kind of photos you take at big events are.  You will improve your skill at taking photos of moving subjects by practicing at some sporting events.

So there you have some situations to practice in.It will help in making you an improved photographer.And while doing so you will also be enjoying a lot because taking photos should be fun in the first place.
