These Photography Hacks Will Make Your Pictures Look Better

Photography is one of those things that everyone seems to enjoy. I guess it’s because now that we have digital cameras, it’s just become a lot easier to take a proper picture and everyone and their brother can do it. The technology can help pictures in a lot of ways, yet sadly they can’t teach amateur photographers a sense of composition.

Luckily, there’s other things that can help you take good pictures that have nothing to do with buying a five thousand dollar camera. With nothing more than a few items that pretty much everyone has in their house, you can make your pictures look a lot better and more unique. Well, most pictures. Your „I’m pushing the Pisa tower“ picture will still look cheap, below average and not as funny as you imagined it would.

Anyway, let’s take a look at some easy photography hacks to impress your undoubtedly vast amount of Instagram followers.

1. Tinfoil To Create A Unique Backdrop
Well, not that unique if everyone is going to be doing it, but you get the point.

2. Use A Fish tank For An Underwater Shot
Because ducks can be scary and this will keep your precious camera safe from these nasty predators.

3. Adding Lights With Regular Bulbs
There’s no hack for getting a model that’s clever enough to not bite a bunch of lights that have electricity running through the wire, however.

4. Using a CD To Create A Lens Flare Effect
Yup, using an object that can reflect light and using it to reflect light into your camera, can emulate the effect of light in your camera. Who’d have thought?

5. Use a Sifter For A Nice Shadow Effect
It has a cool „confessional booth“ effect. If that’s what you’re looking for.

6. Using Sunglasses As A Filter
In case that anyone would be surprised that you can filter light with an object specifically designed to filter light.
