A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

So I need some ideas for things I could take photos of in my school, mostly without going into classrooms and without any people in the photos. If I could get some ideas I would be really thankful Themes:

  1. Out of focus(kinda need some examples for this as I haven't done much of this)
  2. Rule of thirda
  3. Story with objects (would be really helpful coz I think this is the most interesting, have a couple ideas but would like some more.

What you mention (angles, oof, composition rules, etc.) aren't really themes, they're just tools to achieve a goal that you've set yourself before.

If I were you, I'd try to find a guiding topic, a theme, a common idea. What do you find interesting about the school, visually? The architecture of the school? The harsh flourescent light and the colours? The eery weirdness of an empty school building (I always find empty schools creepy, e.g.)? What about the traces your fellow students and the teachers leave behind? Chewing gum under the seats, confessions of love carved into school desks, traces of the last lesson on the whiteboard, etc. The possibilities are endless.
