Like every artist, each photographer has their own style and preferences in choosing themes, lenses, filters. . . It’s everyone’s stamp, his signature, his fingerprint. You probably have yours, although you may not have noticed, however, sometimes it’s normal to go beyond the limits you consciously or unconsciously imposed yourself, trying new things always fuels the imagination, improves our vision of the world around us. and helps us learn.
The same goes for photography, if you try new options that you didn’t know before or didn’t dare try, it will motivate your learning, it will surely stimulate your creativity and who knows, maybe you will find another style that is also “very much you” that you like more or with which you feel even more identified. That’s why in today’s post I’m not going to give you any advice, nor am I going to give you steps on how to make a type of photograph, at most I’ll give you some links.
- My intention with this article today is to give you ideas to arouse your interest in trying something different.
- Stimulating your photographic vein and activating your imagination.
- I don’t know if I’ll make it.
- But if I at least get you to do it.
- Take out your camera and start filming.
- It’ll have been worth it.
Have you ever tried photographing without looking? If you did, you will have discovered that it is not easy, in fact to get something decent, you will have to shoot several times before you get something interesting, the first times you will get more sky or more soil than anything else, but when you find tranquility, you can make wonderful shots like Gus-Art, because no one will know what you are photographing and the result will be as natural as life itself.
There is a powerful element of composition, perspective. You can use a linear, aerial, or forced perspective. You’ve most likely used the first two even without realizing it, but forced perspective, as the name suggests, is intentionally sought. This is a game that can be very fun and entertaining, and not only that, it can offer you very interesting results, learn here to master perspective as a compostive element
Don’t you know what it is?! Don’t worry, you’re probably not the only one. Although by name you have already inferred what it is, here are 11 impressive examples of light painting and here’s how to take your first photo of light painting. So repeat the name, I bet you that ‘ I’ve already learned it ?. It’s a different kind of photography that, interestingly, can’t be done with Photoshop and is even more fun than the previous one.
Violeta explains in the following video how to introduce you to this technique:
Infrared photography is a completely different type of image than what we are used to seeing, few people have entered, perhaps because of the apparent difficulty, but not so much, you have two ways to do it, either with an infrared filter or after shooting with an editing program. If you’re curious, here’s how to take your first infrared photo.
Wondering what I mean by half? If you look at the picture, you’ll understand. This is a type of photograph that is not entirely underwater (taken underwater). Half of the image (or piece) is carried out under the surface of the water and the rest outside the water. The result is really interesting, especially since it is not an image that we are used to seeing, and secondly because it allows us to compare two environments that coexist in harmony but are completely different.
You probably know this type of photography, what I’m not so sure is that you have practiced it, it is true that it is not a great mystery to do it, you use the lens and the indicated period, perhaps the only mystery is to find the kind of images and scenes that feel better this type of “distortion” because we are honest?not all images are favored with such lenses. Of course, very good results can be achieved if you learn to look at the world of a “fisheye” with these recommended goals.
It is a magical and different way of photographing the movement of stars or any other element whose movement occurs so slowly that it is imperceptible to the human eye And how could it not be otherwise?We also have an article that explains how to make your first Time Lapse.
By exposing your scene multiple times, you can capture the movement independently, that is, you shoot multiple times in the same frame, so if there is an element or person moving in the scene, it will be represented at the same time while shooting and in the positions in which it was, with the example you will understand better.
This is even less mysterious (and more so for shy people who look at the steeds all the time), however, know that sometimes there is a life beyond asphalt and parquet and that you can find reasons worth photographing like the one in this example, you don’t have to fight the world and stop looking at the people in front looking for an interesting photo of the sidewalk, you just have to pay attention to the floors that have a vintage, magical or fun point and that make an interesting game with your shoes and / or other article. Hmm, a. m. ? (Wait, do I bite my tongue?), I can’t, can’t I?. I know, at first I told you I wasn’t going to give you any advice but I can’t help it: with these photos, please, the lines should be completely straight !!!!
Geometries, such as lines, can play a lot of play, if you use them as a composive element you will get different and original images, the trick is to find interesting shapes with bright colors that coexist in harmony, see this example:
Ten is a round and round number I hope your images remain that although they now look different, some of them may end up being an integral part of your photographic repertoire. As you will have seen, they are not so difficult to achieve and unless you live far from the sea, I see nothing that prevents you from practicing these ten different forms of photography. In addition, with your creativity and imagination, you can invent others, such as the cover image.
I say goodbye until the next article but not without first thanking you for reading so far, and in the process asking you to share it or like it. Are these gestures the ones that grow the blog ?.
