Ideas for High School Shooter I began photography about a year ago. I take pictures for my high school newspaper. Next year, I plan to do the yearbook's photography also. I have a good understanding of the camera's functions and abilities. I feel I've reach a point were experimentation is the next step. Do you have any ideas on good experiments I can do to get a better understanding of lighting, composition, exposure and such? Also, do you have any tips for me?

Start taking pictures of stuff. Go down to the slow range of shutter speeds, and experiment. Start taking pictures of people. Do some candids, do some pictures of friends. Take your camera with you if you go hang out with them at whatever burger place is in your town. Get pictures that if seen by somebody who has never been around you or your friends, they'll see why you like hanging out with them. Or at least try to. Do a personal photo essay assignment of documenting life in high school, which is essentially what the yearbook tries to do, anyway. Look at CD covers, and think about ways to shoot groups of people - like the drama club, or homecoming people in something different besides a photo with five in front, five in back.
