DIY Photography about & some tricks.

Ever since i was a child i've never been interested in photography any further than my nose, my family kept two cameras remaining one right now.
For the past month i've bought a new smartphone, which came along with 5 megapixel camera, i was seriously entertained by it's functions.
I was taking snaps, photographing, photographing and photographing and been mad-ass with focusing function like it was a big rock that i was stuck in when making beauty shots.
I was visiting a countryside for a week, and found a real passion for photographing small things like flowers, animals, ants, and i've found my camera a true third eye for me, i kept trying and got the focusing a close friend of mine, making the snaps look like they're taken with a 1000$ camera.
Here's a photo -

The interesting part is - I've took this photo with my phone.

And i have to say it's pretty cool! I've also found some passion on making video's, which was a great leap foward. Since i'm bare hands and i'm not onto buying tripod or other stuff to upgrade camera for a huge price, but there's always an alternative.

Yup, DIY - Do It Yourself, and here's some tips that learnt me to take photoing like i never did before.

1. "Tripod" or how to keep your camera stable (less shaky)

Kay', this seems to be pretty simple at the moment. As you may already see from a picture it's a foot-held camera stabilizer/tripod. Well it's not pretty much tripod-look like but the function remains the same.
The simplier way to do it is just to use one string, ant not put it round' your feet, just zip it on any object that you can step on.
Voila!





                                                         
2. Softbox from a cereal box
Proffesional photographers use softboxes to make the pictures look actually smooth, or just hot i say.
Using a cardboard or cereal box, and following the instruction on the right you can make some damn pretty pictures, without spending bucks.
Pocket-happy.






                                                                 
 3. Paper lens hood
 You don't like too much sun shades in your photos so do i, let's fix this problem using a paper, just fold it round and keep it on your camera lens, just like in the picture and you may get some better results.
I kinda like this one because it's so simple.







                                                                   
4. Flash diffuser


Camera shops will happily charge you for the little bits of plastic that attach to the front of your flash and soften the light a little. Others will tell you that you can't attach a diffuser to a built-in flash. In fact you can.

Admittedly you'll look slightly odd with your camera covered in sellotape and bits of plastic, but who cares what's going on behind the camera, as long as the shot is great?

               
5. Macro glass
There's no need for a macro lens when you have a magnifying glass, simply as put it in front of your objective and take a close shot, the photos will look stunning and detailed.

That's pretty much! I picked the list of tricks only that would be that interesting, there may be hundreds of more tricks just don't be lazy and try to do some stuff yourself, you may find even more great tricks!
