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.

Try at least to not take boring photos. If you really have no ideas, go and do something crazier than the other kids would do. A little idea would be using high aperture and fast shutter speed plus a flash, as you'd creare a sort of fake night time effect. Other kids will all have photos during the day, you on the other hand will stand out for having them 'at night'. The flash creates cool results. Another somewhat non boring idea that I guess no other kids are going to have is using the other competitors as your willing/unwilling subjects. You just shoot them while they're trying to take their pictures or whatever. Story with objects, you can shoot the shoes of your peers while they're walking around, or their cameras, or their bags.

I think here's a tutorial on the flash thing (you just use the one that comes with your camera) https://fstoppers.com/lighting/using-flash-change-your-photo-day-night-598896
