The best way to learn and gain experience in photographic techniques is to go outdoor and practice, instead of reading photography books, signing up for an online photography course or spending endless nights browsing photography related content through the internet.

You can’t have too much theory sessions as photography is not done by taking down notes in classes. To understand photography, gaining real shooting experiences outdoor, you need to go out there and see how lighting changes, understand the characteristics of your camera/lenses and see the fault within yourself thus rectifying it.
