Just take photos of whatever you find nice. You can mess with backgrounds and stuff to give it more effect.

Photography is just a form of art, so do whatever you want to do. I’m not good at photography, so I can’t really give you ‘all the important stuff of taking photos’.

take photos of what ever you think is good, if you think that something you see has a meaning, or is just something to remember you should take a picture of it. That’s how all photographers start.

Taking photos randomly is not a good way to learn the art of photography. You may end up with a few photos that you want to keep, but the rest will have to be discarded (or deleted, nowadays).

Look into a photography class at school. Or an art class. If you’re too young or if it’s not available, then, go to the library, and check out some books on photography.

Take heart–with basic knowledge in photography (i.e., how to set your camera. What is aperture? What is shutter speed, which lens to use. What to do with lighting? And so on), you will discover the joy of photography. Otherwise it is just trials and errors. It gets very frustrating after a while. Many buy expensive cameras and they end up in the closet.

This is a good place to start right now

To show you that I am not babbling, these are not “random” photos in any way

Start with what you know and are interested in. Keep your camera with you at all times and shoot as much as you can. You will quickly find what styles of photography you like to take and what subjects you are interested in. Next, look at as many other photos as you can and find new things that you might like to try to duplicate. Nothing will build skill faster than trying to duplicate other propels works (lights, angles, shadows, colouring).
