Hey Everyone! I hope everyone is healthy and safe. During the Coronavirus situation that we have going on now, a lot of us are stuck at home. My last two blogs have been related on how to maximize the time you have at home.  Now that you know how to maximize your time, let's talk about different projects or ideas that you can do to try and experiment with.  Try one of the 10 ideas that you haven't done before, and of course, if you don't know how to do one of these ideas, you can always go on YouTube and search on how to do them if you can't figure them out.  So let's get started.

1. Selfies- Take selfies to document this time that you're at home. Experiment with light from natural to man made.  Maybe a gobo (Go Between) the Kiwi light source and the subject to make unique shadows.

2.  Table Top Macro- Break out that Macro lens that is collecting dust and really start using it by taking Macro shots of things and details of your house.

4.  Bokeh- Break out those old Christmas lights, open up that aperture, and take some really cool images. You can put them up for backgrounds for portraits or behind things for unique images. USA Pease

5.  Shoot Through- Find interesting things to use to shoot through to make interesting photos, looking through a cubbyhole or through things onto everyday life to make it interesting.

6.  Portraits- Take portraits of family members in different situations, family portraits of your family, and don't forget those pets that we love so dearly.

7.  Food Photography- I've been looking at Facebook and a lot of people are cooking.  Use your camera skills and take awesome photos of this food.

8.  Double Exposure- You can take double exposures of yourself with your camera.  You'll have to look into your camera manual of how to do this with your brand.  You can also do this in Photoshop.

10.  Oil and Water Photography- Oil and water don't mix and can make very interesting photographs with a macro lens, and using colorful backgrounds can make some crazy images.

So get out in that backyard or on that tabletop and start creating some great images and cure that Netflix binging that you've been doing!
