Feeling creative? These awesome DIY smartphone photography ideas are definitely worth your time. |
I did not know about freelensing, that is until a few days ago. What a difference it can make too, not only do I have to go out and buy a whole separate software to get that soft focus or even the bokeh look. Simply dismount your lens (but don't put it away, your still going to use it) hold is directly infront of the camera body..where it normally sits. Then snap away. Describing the technique would be similar to that of a pinhole or a brownie but just with an updated model. The video showed this technique being performed on wedding photography, which is perfect for that soft atmosphere and glow.
Concert photography you either hate it or wish you had a different camera, each and everytime you go to show. But this may ease some of your stress, how about using an ISo of 100. I know that's practically low light murder but there is a myth called the '4 Seconds' in Concert Photography. If you know the band (or even better watch a live recording on Youtube) and you know the lighting setup...you can pick and choose which songs have the most powerful light strobes. Using those to your advantage as a flash, instead of using your own. Because when you do use an ISO 1600 and say it was a gorgeous silhouette...but at that exact moment the red lights flared on with the bright white spotlight behind the singer...that picture will not turn out. Unless you were trying for an ISO of 100. Test it out.
The nerve wracking thought of entering a Photography Compeition. Some make you pay a fee others are free...but why do we enter at all...for recognition. Of course. Even more fascinating is what subject or theme the contest could be about. Which helps us budding photographers to focus, take as many shots as we can and learning a shot in editing 101.
So what would be a con about entering...those copyright grabs. Or "the rights grab" those sneaky individuals or companies that gain control of licensing a photo, you enter. Be sure to read that fine print and the ever long list of terms and conditions...this small traps could earn you big time.
