JPG Magazine has a tutorial on a cool photographic technique. It uses film, so I am unlikely to try it out any time soon, but here it is: redscale photography.
It is about flipping your film so that the "wrong" (i.e. rear) surface is facing the light. That produces quite a heavy reddish cast and burned out colours. It looks very radical, yet seems really easy to try out.

Reflective vs. Shoot-through Umbrellas vs. Softbox
As all strobists do, I experiment with light modifiers. One that I have not tried yet is a softbox. Atlanta-based photographer Zack Arias has a great demonstration of the difference in light coming from a shoot-through umbrella, reflective umbrella and a softbox.
His 5-part tutorial on white backgrounds is great too.

These videos are really useful for relative beginners (like myself) to see the box-standard studio setups. The guy's website has links to images and text.
It's at least a weekend's worth of stuff to try out.
