I have a few rather obvious ones although I'm only an armature myself so take them with a pinch of salt.

Buy a tripod because you WILL need it at some point.

Be prepared for disappointment because at the start its very easy to let all those nice "sample shots" fool you into high expectations only to discover you skill level isn't high enough to take shots of the same caliber but don't dismay just stick with it.

Take lots of shots because while they may look good on the rear LCD screen it can be a different story when you actually upload them to your PC.

Get acquainted with photoshop (or similar) as your gonna need it.

Also for what its worth the vast majority of the shots I've posted where taken with Canon's stock 18-55 mm kit lens that they include with most of of there DSLR packages.
