Photography With Something You Already Have in Your Cupboard

-


Looking  for something with strong contrast, massive lights and shades, wanting something that gives you strong abstract shapes and shadows ?  Wanting something that is freely available, constantly changeable but can also be constant enough for you to take a heap of shots without it moving off on you at the crucial moment of pressing the shutter ?   Want something that you can manipulate and change at will ?

 Learn how to take awesome photos & Get paid For Your Pictures

How about something that you can find in most kitchen drawers ?  Aluminum foil -  for a starting point just pull it out, scrunch it up and move around  until you get a composition that looks amazing and start shooting.  Turn  your flash off or all you will get will be reflections of yourself !  Fine if you want a fuzzy photo of your own nose !   Then start adding and moving light, move it closer to the light source, away from it and use a tripod for best results -  spot the photo above where there is camera shake to see the difference.    Switch your camera to macro for extra good close ups and to avoid that fuzzy photo of your nose again :)  Go experiment and while you are at it pull out a few of the other things in your kitchen drawer - you will be amazed at what has been lurking there all the while that will take amazing photos.

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.

Wonderful Moss Garden - Natures Own Abstract Art

What do you all think of this as natures very own handiwork ? This could almost have been duplicated in a tapestry or made into one of Kaffe Fassett's tapestrys or  knitted works of art or painted into a giant artwork don't you think ? This macro image was one of a very small clump of moss on a concrete step - just goes to show what can happen when you view things differently - we've probably all been just walking over these amazing shots and not giving them a second glance.  Try looking at everyday things like moss, slimy gutter pipes,  mould and rust through your macro lens and see what you can see. Taken again with my trusty Nikon Coolpix of course !   On its macro setting. You too can take awesome shots just seek and you will find :)
