As a total amateur myself the one thing that seems to have helped me get better is taking a lot of bad pictures and learning. It isn't just taking the bad pictures, but looking over them and figuring out what made them bad. Then you can improve on them from there.

Since I am only an amateur, my only real gauge is my friends, family and co-works pointing things out. Co-works seem to he be best since they normally don't mind hurting your feelings and telling you what they don't like about something.

I started with a Olympus D490 Zoom and now have a Rebel XT Digital SLR and am about to get a A620 for my wife. The good part about digital is you can take a lot and only burn up energy instead of lots of money on film.
