Alan brought me a camera a couple of weeks ago , I’ve just got to learn how to get the best possible shots with it 
Think it will be all trial and error
It’s a Canon eos 1100d , got different lens for it too
I’d be really proud of myself if I took a photo like your just taken
I've been doing it for many years. Knowing your camera is just part of the equation.
What many have problems with is composition. There are rules (guidelines more than rules) for different types of photography, but, I can get you taking more impressive photos in fifteen minutes. I used to teach it at camera clubs. Just a handful of things to look for in composition are all you need.
Firstly, if it doesn't add to the photo, leave it out. Even with digital, look through the viewfinder (or use the rear screen) and look closely and look for little details that add or destroy your photo. Take your time.
Look up the rule of thirds. It will explain why some photos are nice to look at. Master that and you will instantly take better photos. There are other rules to add and layer on to that, some that are contrary but that is a great starting point. 15 minutes is all you need to take better photos rather than just snaps.
Use Auto to start with while you get confidence and then look at the exposure triangle - ISO / Aperture / Shutter Speed. With that you can then explore creative use of depth of field, sharpness/blur and how to get the best from light.
Crop your photos - They don't have to be 3 x 2 ratio.
Don't try and boil the ocean and learn too much at once. Play with some element and explore what you can do, what you can change and see how it affects your photos.
One other thing - You will hear people often ask, what is the best camera. The good photographers will simply say, the one you have with you. It isn't the camera, it is the photographer that is important. The camera is just one of the many tools and techniques.
Good luck!
