52 ideas for photos yabesh candid wedding photographers
Work on photo projects with different themes - a great way
to break away from the routine and concentrate on photography creative process
of creating snapshots. Restrictions on the subject matter and the equipment
sometimes really forced to resort to very creative solutions.
We have prepared 52 great ideas for filming in 2015. For
each week of the year on the idea. We have divided them into three subsections:
simple projects for the house that you can implement today, ideas that you can
implement in nature and temporary projects to which you can start right now.
Photo ideas for home
1. Manipulation with water drops
To implement these ideas must install the water tank with a
small hole through which water droplets are skipped. Your task - to press the
shutter button when the drop will be formed or already fly. Most importantly -
as accurately as possible to determine the time to close the gate. We have
achieved the best results when using two flashes set at minimum power (1 /
128th). The aperture was set at f / 22. To make the water more viscous
consistency, we have added in it a little food thickener. We also took
advantage of the device series Splash Art Kit, which helps regulate the droplet
size and the frequency of their fall.
2. Photographing water splash
For this project you will need flash with remote control,
water tank with clean, transparent walls, colored background and a tripod.
Place a container with water and a colored background, and then put on the
capacity of the flash. Place the camera on a tripod and set to manual focus
mode. At f / 8 and ISO 200, set the shortest possible exposure. Do not forget
the flash sync. So, throw objects into the water and press the shutter button
as soon as he touches the surface of the water.
3. The art of drawing smoke
Many photographers, for example, fans still life, happy to
use in their photographs smoke. And what if we go to the next level and use
intricate shapes swirling smoke to produce paintings? You can create an unusual
art project in Photoshop. So take some good shots with swirls of smoke, create
a new blank document in Photoshop. Then copy and paste it one of the resulting
images. Set the blending mode Screen and use the Warp Transform (Edit>
Transform> Warp) to change the shape of smoke. Keep experimenting, adding to
the other document images.
4. Cross-polarization
The basis of this funny idea is an effect that creates a
polarized light falling on objects made of plastic. You will need two
polarizing filters; ideally one of them must be a sheet of polarizing film. A4
sheet polarizer film Lee 239 can be purchased for around £ 50. Sheet of film
should be placed on the light box, or any other light source. Ayana screen and
screens of most computers have built-in polarizing filter, so if you do not
have a polarizing film, then you may well create a blank white paper which
fills the screen, and use your gadget. Connect the camera polarizer and rotate
it so that on transparent plastic parts appeared in color.
5. Edible landscapes
Podperchite their food photos! All you need - creative place
figures on food, for example, Hornby. They are ideal, as men of this company
are offered in a variety of poses. It is important not only to put the figures,
but also tell a story. In this photo you watch how the two heroes help council’s
climbers attempting to climb the mountain potato.
6. Food as art
Turn products for your dinner in the subject photo-art,
using light boxes and a very sharp knife. Cut fruits and vegetables as thinly
as possible and then put them in the light box. Place the camera directly above
the subject, use the mode Live View, to manually focus on the details. Set the
aperture f / 8, it will give the optimum depth of field. It is necessary to
resort to exposure compensation and put it on a 3 + 1 + stop, because the glare
from the light box can be misleading Exposer your camera.
7. Flowers in ice
A relatively inexpensive way to make excellent macro
photography - flowers freeze in plastic containers filled with distilled or de-ionized
water. Flowers will float, so take care on how to fix them in the same
position. Place a piece of ice on the surface of a transparent glass or bowl in
a white sink or other container, then the light will be reflected from all
surfaces of the container. Place the flash on one side and point down, and
place the camera on the opposite side.
8. Oil and abstraction
Oil stains; bleed on the surface of the water - a great idea
to create bright abstract photos. This project uses the refractive quality of
the oil, which accentuates and distorts the colors. All you need is to pour
water into a transparent bowl and add a few drops of vegetable oil. Place the
bowl at a height of 25 cm above the table. Under the bowl put colored paper,
highlight its ordinary desk lamp or by using the flash.
9. Oil reflection
This idea resonates with the idea described above paragraph.
But in this case, a color picture is created using colored overlays for lamps,
not colored background. First, shoot an overlay for a desk lamp using solid
colored paper, film and tape. For safety reasons, make sure that the paper does
not touch the bulb. Put a bowl of water in front of a desk lamp and add a few
drops of oil. Spread the butter over the surface, hold the camera as close as possible
and shoot.
10. Psychedelic soap film
The project - a great idea for bright or abstract desktop
wallpaper for the walls. You will need a liquid soap, mixed with glycerol; the
combination forms a stable soap film. Arm yourself with a loop of wire, black
background and a macro lens, such as 100mm. Color formed soap film; appear only
at a certain angle of incidence of light. Located within walking distance from
the window and select the correct angle for shooting.
11. Effect of refraction
Passing through the water, the light has a singularity
distorted, i.e. refracted, resulting in objects under water visually changes
their appearance. This phenomenon is called refraction, which we'll use in this
small photo project. All that you need is a few glasses of transparent, flash,
tripod and background with black and white pattern. Simply place a glass of
water on a background with a pattern and shoot.
12. Close-up in the kitchen
Your kitchen - ideal for macro shooting. Its reflective
surface can be used to create interesting background for pictures and shallow
depth of field can transform the most ordinary objects. String together a few
pictures, you can create a beautiful decor element for your own kitchen, but
before you start shooting, consider how the frames will overlap each other. Our
range consists of three photos taken at the same angle and at the same depth of
field.
13. Bake
Such a simple thing like a crumpled piece of foil can easily
become the basis for a beautiful photo project. Place your subject on the
glass, and put under the glass piece of dark material. A little note in the
hands of ordinary kitchen foil, then flatten it and put it in the background.
Direct light from a desk lamp or any other source to the foil. With the camera on
a tripod, the maximum open aperture. Light the foil flash during shooting.
14. Bubbles in a booked
Small lights always create beautiful booked. Garland could
not be better suited for this. Place the garland in a remote to open aperture
at its bulbs were out of focus. The subject, in this case glass should be close
to the camera, and it must be concentrated focus. Garland position itself so
that booked eventually took the form of multi-colored bubbles, flying from the
glass. This technique is also used in the creation of such a "flow"
of booked mugs with hot drinks.
15. Drawings of light
Streaks of light and light patterns can be used in many
different genres of photography; they are ideally suited for still lives. For
this you can use a simple flashlight, and the light was less distracted you can
remove the top cover, thereby exposing the bulb. Insulating tape to attach the
lantern piece of colored paper. Set the shutter for 30 seconds, and in the
vicinity of aperture f / 8. During the exposure and make a smooth circular
motion around the bottle, drawing a spiral.
16. The light spiral
Tie the rope to the lantern and hang from the ceiling. For
this picture, you will need the most wide-angle lens that you have in your
arsenal. Place the camera on a tripod and aim straight at the ceiling. With the
included indoor light manually move the focus to the tip of the torch. Set the
aperture value equal to about f / 11 - f / 16, taking pictures with Bulb and
remote shutter release. Keep the shutter open for about a minute after the
start flying lantern.
Ideas for outdoors
17. Portraits effect Benazir and
Brenayzera method, also known as a portrait or panorama buckram,
provides an excellent basis for a series of portrait photographs. The method
was invented by a wedding photographer from New York, Ryan Brenayzerom. This
technique allows you to create pictures with the effect of Wide-Angle lens. The
point of this method is to create a series of photographs that form when gluing
full frame. Gather together the mosaic can be using Photo merge option in
Photoshop or in a program designed for bonding of frames. Use hand-held camera
settings, starting and ending with the white balance focus, so the settings
from all the pictures are the same. Take for 30-80 shots to create a single
photo, and do not forget that each successive frame should overlap the previous
one by about a third.
18. in the right place with the wrong lens
Force yourself to look at things differently. Going for a
walk with the camera, the lens will choose the opposite of what you would most
likely have with us. For example, take a wide-angle lens to the zoo or limit
yourself to a focal length telephoto, when you next go to photograph
landscapes.
19. Landscapes by bit
Try a new way to explore the area around you, creating a
composition of multiple images taken during a walk. Go out literally 20
minutes. Do not spend much time settings, simply select the aperture priority
mode, do not bring a tripod and a variety of filters, discard the intricate
techniques. Shoot everything that catches your attention. On his return home,
create a document in Photoshop with the grid and insert it into the cell to
obtain an image using layers.
20. Minimalist landscapes
Rather than drive the
opening in front of you in the form of a boring picture, try to slow shutter
speeds to take a series of minimalist landscapes. Symmetrical composition and
the square format will help to emphasize the simplicity of the frame. You will
also need a neutral filter that will give you the opportunity to use slow
shutter speeds throughout the day. Use a tripod and a remote control for remote
shutter release.
21. Star landscapes
To capture the perfect star landscape, you need a completely
clear sky. It is desirable that the frame does not leak moon otherwise many
details may be lost. For high-quality picture with crisp, nerazmytymi stars
photograph should be enough shutter speed to do this, go to manual settings,
set the ISO value of about 1600 or 3200 and the shutter two seconds. Even with
these settings you will need to install a wide open aperture: f / 4 or f / 2.8.
22. Take pictures that you never inspired
Write a list of objects or places that feel uninteresting,
boring or even ugly. Now make yourself make attractive and interesting photos
of in photogenic places and objects.
23. We are looking for an abstraction in the parking lot
You do not need to travel to distant lands to carry out an
interesting photo project. Opportunities to create a set of pictures, and even
in ordinary places like the parking lot, it is possible to create something
interesting. For this project you will need a digital camera. Not drawing
attention to technique, look and shoot a variety of textures, color
combinations, interesting shapes and patterns.
24. Selective color
Instead of using the notorious technique for selecting an
object from the rest of the frame (for example, when the main object color is
left, and the rest is converted into black and white), try to choose the color
and retrieves its embodiment in the diversity of the world. Draw attention to
this color, using the correct composition.
25. Night Photography
Engage in night photography. Limit yourself to use
additional light sources, take the most out of the available light.
26. Optical Illusions
In this project, we invite you to play with the prospect
that affects the viewer's perception of the relations between objects of
different sizes, which are in the frame. It is best to base objects whose
dimensions are known and do not cause any doubt, and make them interact with
objects larger, located in the background. For this kind of photo shoot with a
small hole aperture to provide greater depth of field.
27. Miniature World
Shoot miniature toys and models in the natural environment.
Such projects are popular today and are quite common; in addition to their
implementation is no big deal. Just take it with a small figure or toy and
remove it in a variety of situations, always and everywhere: on a journey or a
walk or even on the way to work. To figure joined the surroundings; you should,
first, remove it from close range, and secondly, properly balanced coverage.
28. Create a tilt-shift effect
Well-known and loved by the effect of "toy town"
is obtained by using a special lens expensive tilt-shift. But the same effect
can be obtained in the program Photoshop, if the blur in the picture all but a
small area where you want to focus. For more pictures from the hill
plausibility and preferably in the sun.
29. Photo Alphabet
No, we do not suggest you to search for letters of the
alphabet in the inscriptions on the shops, road signs, etc. Instead, look for
objects and objects shaped like letters of the alphabet. It is not necessary to
look far for an example, let us take teeter on the site. Which reminds them
frame from the end? True, the letter A. A curved river with a bird's-eye view
English letter S.
30. from 1 to 100
Similar to how we ask you to create a photographic alphabet
can be a little to expand this project and try to find illustrations of the
figures.
31. Persons in unusual places
Another simple and fun idea for a photo project. Sometimes
we can see how our everyday ordinary things and just surrounding objects have
some resemblance to a human face or take the form of that remotely reminds us
of facial features. Learn how to look differently at the world of things. For
inspiration look at the blog on this subject.
32. Light orbit
Drawing light gives limitless many different ideas for
photos. But what about a series of shots with light orbits? You do not need
sophisticated equipment. All you need - a bright LED light that runs on
batteries, and the hoop, which is wound and lights. Set the camera on a tripod,
choose the optimal length of exposure and simply rotate the hoop.
33. Burning steel wool
For this project be careful with that shooting took place in
an open area away from flammable objects. In a metal whisk put steel wool, and
attach it to the chain. Then burn the hair and rotate corolla on a chain,
burning sparks will fly around. You will need a desperate volunteer tripod and
shutter speed for about 15 seconds at f / 11 and ISO 100.
34. The movement of the machine
For variety, try to capture the motion of the car than
outside, but from within. Shoot, of course, the next night. Ask a friend to go
smoothly and slowly to a well-lit road. Long Exposure expose about 30 seconds.
Set up the tripod on the passenger seat and use a remote shutter release.
35. Intentional errors
Make a list of the most common mistakes that can make a
photographer. And then try to intentionally committing these errors create a
beautiful picture. You can overexpose underexpose the picture or vice versa, is
incorrectly cropped subject or focus on the background and not on the subject matter.
36. Cinema graph
Create a series of animated Gif images that illustrate the
subtle movement. This project requires a little work in Photoshop. You will
have to create not just pictures and video, but the results can exceed all your
expectations. You will need a tripod; background should remain unchanged
throughout the entire video. Select a scene in which an action occurs
continuously or cyclically to start and end points in the final Cinema graph
not conspicuous. Secure the movement, such as the wind rustles the leaves on the
tree.
37. Intentional camera movement
You used to do everything possible to ensure that the
photographs were obtained as clear. But to make the photos metaphor and mystery
try to do the opposite. For a relatively long exposure deliberately move the camera.
Shoot in shutter priority mode. For inspiration, see the work of the British
photographer Chris Frailer (http://www.cfriel.com).
38. Retro-effect
Various noise and distortion is very easy to add programs
Photoshop or Light room. As a result, you get a more colorful and atmospheric
picture, but on her final style is worth considering even during shooting.
Retro effect works well with simple, not overloaded with details of photos
where the subject is easily recognizable.
39. Slow shooting time-lapse
Many of us can find time for busy shooting time-lapse, which
is on the verge of videos and photos. The subject matter may, in fact, be any affect
your daily life. Learn to this fascinating technique in 2015.
Projects designed for long period of time
40. Draft 365
Classic design, in which you have to do on a photo a day for
a whole year. You can go in two possible ways: to limit yourself to only one
shot per day for a given project, or do a few photos and then choose the best.
You cannot spend as much time in the photo? Then come to think of an
alternative project for which you want to do on a photo a week, respectively
pictures will be 52.
41. 50 strangers
This idea is also not new, but that it is no less
fascinating. You should familiarize start a conversation with strangers you
people, and then with their permission to retain the memory of their portrait.
The number of strangers, which you have to take a picture, you can identify
yourself. The most important thing to overcome themselves and take the first
step.
42. Draft 50x50x50
It's simple: 50 days, 50 photos taken with the lens 50mm. extremely
simple project to help develop your vision of the photographer.
43. Creative Self
Of course, you can do self-portraits at home, but it's
boring! Why not put a task to create a series of self-portraits outside the
home? Look at a series of self-portraits of beautiful, shot by famous
photographer Vivienne Maher (Vivian Maier). She portrayed themselves as part of
some great scenes, plays with light, shadow and reflection. You will be easier
if you choose to project a certain subject, as, for example, did the
photographer Alex Basford as part of his series of works called 'Sleepwalking'
project (http://www.alexbamford.com/sleepwalking).
44. The world under your feet
Daily at the same time of the day take pictures that is
under your feet. Arm yourself with a wide angle lens and search for new and
interesting places.
45. Portraits without a Face
Do portraits of different people, but do not include the
frame their faces. Try to convey their individuality in other ways. Use the
colors, surroundings, lighting, attributes and even parts of their bodies -
especially the hands - all this will help you expose to the audience their
character.
46. Penalty info
Ask someone to write on paper cards 30 items. Things can be
very different, but always readily available. You at this time shall describe
30 different aspects of photography (50mm, black and white photo, long
exposure, the effect of tilt-shift, etc.). Take the card from each pile and
start the task.
47. Month monochrome
The name of this idea gives detailed information. Force
yourself to do only black-and-white photographs, forget about the color of a
month. You will learn to see the most suitable scenes and objects to shoot in
black and white. This project will help you to develop your vision. Photograph
format Raw, but advance change the settings of the camera, setting the
monochrome mode. As a result, during shooting allows you to see the scene in
the black and white, and the image will keep all information about the color.
With this information you can use to process photos.
48. The Four Seasons
In contrast to the project, which provides for everyday
photography, here you have to shoot the same object every three months during
the year. The idea of this project - to show the change of seasons. With wit
select an object to shoot in advance imagine how the selected scene will look
like after the transformation, caused by the change of weather. Lonely tree in
the field, of course, for this project as well as possible.
49. Geocaching
Download to your smartphone application dedicated to
geocaching and go to the point of hiding the purpose of art to capture the
surrounding countryside. Do not take photos myself hiding place, because you do
not want to have people who go in search of him, lost interest.
50. Create a library
of textures
With textures can give the photos a special look. You can
apply a texture to the picture in several ways, such as using multiple exposure
modes. Much easier for this purpose use the program Photoshop and do texture
mapping through the layers. Although the texture you can find on the internet,
but you must admit, much nicer to use your own. Wood, old wrinkled paper, plasters
falling off the walls and other things that can serve as an excellent texture
to your photos.
51. Pinhole photography
With his own hands, using the means at hand, turn your
expensive camera in the camera obscure analogue and try to shoot without using
newfangled technology.
52. Make a photo book
Take a basis for a project you were working on last year.
Think about the structure of the book, to place photos on its pages. Try to
distribute them according to the color scheme, theme or style of performance.
It'S Great !!! So many interesting things myself and not think, thank you !!!!!
