Nowadays you can just grab a DSLR or even your iPhone and make imagery. It's a question of getting your eye to a camera. That's where you learn about composition, by shooting the world around you. It doesn't have to be lit in any special way; there's always natural light. If you can create an interest in the everyday world around you, then you're probably going in the right direction.

The human interaction with nature is a phenomenal thing ... How we abuse it, and rip it apart. And sometimes the mess - the leftovers of human inhabitation and decay - looks beautiful because nature grabs it and does something with it. I'm a big believer that there's beauty in everything we look at.
