I am jealous hearing about kids getting to take digital photography classes in school nowadays. We had photography, but it was a lot more complicated and expensive to be into it back then. Digital has helped me discover my love for the art. www.frombrandon.com Good stuff, and great idea for a post.

Glad to see the class is using the resources here on DPS. I wish there would have been a photography class and DPS available to me when I was in the eighth grade in 1957-58. I would like to expand on #7... There is more than objects in nature to photograph with a macro lens. While nature provides an abundance of objects to photograph, get your macro lens up close and personal with small man made objects too. Photograph the inner workings of an old watch, jewelry, circuit boards, small instruments etc. I enjoy nature photography as much as the next person, but if I see one more photo of the itsy bitsy spider with the beady eyes...well you get the idea. For Jim Fitzsimmons #11 in the comments; If you use shade then a bit of fill flash does wonders for the image if you also have objects illuminated by the sun in the frame too. Great guest article.

Get your subjects out of the shade! Yikes! or at very least, photoshop it a bit before sending it to DPS. If I'm ever that cyan, call an ambulance!! :) They missed one….

That's a great list for new photographers and for more experienced photographers that need to be reminded. I LOVE knowing there is a new generation of young photographers out there!
