Homemade Photo Filter DIY. We've fallen in love with dreamy photo filters! It's common to find colorful filters you can add to your photos in iPhone apps. They can also be added using Photoshop. We thought it would be fun to do it the old-fashioned way, though! Here's how we made our own filters for our DSLR cameras... First, cut pieces of transparency about 1 inch (all the way around) larger than your camera lens. Then draw on them with sharpie (or any permanent marker). We experimented a lot and found that large, bold shapes work best. To use your filter, simply hold it over your lens when shooting. Here are a few examples of photos we snapped using our homemade filters... The results are a little unpredictable, but that's what we love about it!
5 Tips for Lifestyle Photography. Photographing everyday life is one of my biggest creative passions! There is just something so special about capturing the things that make today wonderful. I've been photographing my daily life for nearly ten years and I love looking back on random moments from years past. In the days of film photography people were afraid to "waste" film. They chose to take more posed photos of groups of people and less small memories of each day. We're so lucky to live in the digital age where you can literally take 100 photos on your phone today and only keep your 3 favorites.
I always think back to my high school self (who spent a lot of allowance money on packs of film) and imagine how blown away I would be if someone would have told me that in just 10 years time I'd have a phone that took better photos than my camera.

Depending on the type of camera that you have- you either have a pop up flash (this is attached to your camera and flashes straight on to your subject) or an external flash (this is something you manually attach to your camera and you have the ability to point the flash in whatever direction you would like). Utilizing the ambient (available) light that is in a room is another great tip to keep in mind for indoor photography. 4. There's nothing worse than taking an epic photo and noticing unnecessary clutter somewhere in the shot! 5. 5 Tips for Capturing Emotion in Photos. Capturing emotion in photos is no easy task! It can be especially tricky when people know they are being photographed. You know how children have the "cheese! " face, well adults have it too.

These five tips will help you get started... 1. There are times when a person needs a little time to warm up in front of the camera. 2.
