SIMPLE TRICKS

Are you sick of expensive filters and lenses out of your economic situation? Don´t worry you can experiment and find original and creative solutions to overcome this lack of material. Be creative and everything would be possible.

You can use a simple bag of plastic to create nice light effects. You have to encircle your lens with this paper, the one your mother use to preserve your sandwich. Then the broken edges would create an estrange light effects conferring your photos an amazing result. You can also partially paint the plastic and the light would create new color results.

We learnt this trick exploring the net in the blog of Jesse David McGrady.

Another useful trick is to reverse your lens and hold it in your camera as it would be the original position. Yes, it would sound strange but it is used to take macro photos. The order of the lenses are inversed so it creates a macro focus in short distances which gives you the opportunity to make professional macro photos with an standard lens.

But you have to be cautious with your camera and take care of the lens because you can damage the stabilizer in the process of reversing the lens.
