Hello and welcome to CS!Hi I'm new to photography. Currently I own a Nikon D80 with a kit lens (18 - 200, f3.5-5.6...usual stuff) and am looking for ideas and places to shoot.
Dear Marie,
I agree that all newbie should shoot together....hmm I also wonder will each of us get a senior attached as referrence on that day?
Check your library. They do have some great books about photography. Composition is a part of it, if not the most important part. Colours can be tweaked later, composition never.
