Coming up with new photo ideas (compositions) can often times be a challenge. Probably my biggest recommendation is take as many pictures as you possibly can. By doing this, you will begin to understand your cameras mechanics and will get better at composing your shot.
I took this last fall. I found this old barn and really liked it’s architecture. I typically don’t take pictures of “No Parking” signs but I liked this one.

Shooting at an aperture of 1.4 allows for a very shallow depth of field. It can give your pictures a very unique look. It will also allow you to shoot in very low light. Here is a recent picture taken of the grill of an old GMC truck. The only part of the picture that is in focus is about 1/3 of the “G”.
