Good scanning software comes with a de-screen filter that you can use to remove
moiré patterns. If your scanning software does not come with such a filter, you can
try scanning at twice the desired resolution and then halving the image size in
Photoshop to reduce the unpleasant interference (see Chapter 3, “Digital Imaging
Fundamentals” under “Setting document size and resolution”).

Take your digital camera outside and go for a walk. Identify a subject, which might be a
person, building, small object, or anything that you find interesting. Take at least 20 pictures
of this subject from a variety of different focal lengths, apertures, shutter speeds, distances
between camera and subject, height of camera, tilt of camera, orientations, depths of
field, and so on. Fully explore the subject and how you can capture it photographically.
