Just having some fun

Every now and then, it's good to keep the creative juices flowing by messing around with some of the capabilities of your camera and trying some trick shots. Clients may not always like what you have done, so if you are going to include these shots into the final selections, try not to showcase them as if to say, "AND CHECK THIS ONE OUT". Let them stumble across these images and see if they comment on them. And make sure you have covered all the safe shots before trying these shots.

I was shooting a birthday party recently in a very small room and I didn't want every shot to look the same as there were only a few different positions I could take and was using up every possible camera angle I could think of. I began to play with a technique I learned from the master David Hobby, aka. "The Strobist ". It is actually not that difficult. The only things you need are a zoom lens and a slow shutter speed. It involves zooming the lens while the shutter is open. The results can sometimes look cool and sometimes not. It is personal preference really. The more you try it, the better the chance of getting a cool shot.

I thought this one came out pretty cool, but some people are just not into this type of stuff.

Gotta go for now, Peace!
