These hacks on photography are cheap but
you will be shocked by the final results.
Such ventures can also motivate
you to revive your photographic interest.
Yeah, you can spend thousands of dollars buying equipment that will do the same thing but
doing a DIY project and taking beautiful photos with something you've created is a lot more enjoyable.
Let's take you through 20 hacks
of photography, you can do at home.
1.
Build your
own Illuminator
You will need a sheet of paper and tape for this
photography hack, you should first tap the paper through a window.
Place your subject before the paper and turn your camera
to Av mode (opening to f/8, setting ISO to 100).
Go to the Exposure Compensation after that, and dial
in +1 or +2, test your concentration and aim.
2.
Build Bokeh
Custom Shapes
You will need a DSLR camera, a lens with a wide aperture (small F-stop
number) and a bit of information on bokeh photography for our next photography hack.
Let's make a list of
items that are needed for that.
A black
piece of paper
Craps
A pair
of shooters
Duct
team
Custom knife for
making various shapes.
Also, bring some light on Christmas as
if it was the time of year.
Make a round tube which suits your
lens nicely, and attach it to the lens.
Attach the cut paper to the other end of
the tube, as seen in the second picture below.
Then use the low aperture setting (for bokeh) and aim through the
cutout holes/shapes in manual focus mode toward your light source.
To get the perfect bokeh effect/shapes,
you will need to change the focus ring.
3.
Hazy up the pictures
with a sandwich bag
Here's a quick and fast hack photography to
add to your sandwich bag for another usage.
Please take your snack (or eat it), your
camera needs the bag more than ever before.
Add the sandwich bag to your lens as shown below, and
ensure that parts of it block the view of the lens.
Shoot your
hazy images away!
4.
The effects of
DIY Soft-Focus Lens
Prepare a big, clear plastic
rectangle, elastic band, and some vaseline.
Place some vaseline and fire
on your plain plastic file.
Cut the fabric with scissors in the middle, and connect it
with the elastic band to your camera lens (see 3rd picture below).
Place loose ends of the fabric over
the lens as you are applying the gauze.
5.
Shadow Results With
a Tea Strainer
Our next great photography hack
is the old Tea strainer.
Whether you choose to use natural light through
a window or a tiny opening, this is perfect.
Make sure that the light is bright enough,
and that the subject is near the strainer.
If you arrange it that way, you can get
heavy shadows that cast beautiful patterns that highlight profundity.
