Camera Hacks

• In order to blur out the background and focus on the main object
  • Use a tad bit of lip balm on the rim of your camera lens and leave an empty spot in the middle

• To provide an ombre element to your photo, color a plastic bag different colors and make sure the mixture of colors ends up on top of your lens (when you put the plastic bag over it)
  • This hack is helpful because you don’t need to waste money on buying an ombre camera filter

• If you want to stabilize your photo use your camera strap (follow the steps below)
  • Put the strap around your neck
  • Hold the camera out as far as you can, make sure that the strap isn’t slipping off
  • Rotate the camera
    • HELPFUL FOR A PANORAMA
    • YIELD: A straight horizon line
• In order to distort the light so that your phots gains unrealistic qualities, use a prism.

• If you want to add texture to your picture, use a plastic bag. If you find filters more usable, you can put an arrangement of colored straws on a yogurt lid and use it as a camera filter.

• If you want to make part of your picture brighter, you can use plain white paper to reflect the light.
  • You could also use a metallic surface, but the light being reflected of the metallic panel is strong enough to damage the human eye.
