Photojojo Ideas
Take a Photo Everyday
Do you remember how your life looked like every day of the previous year? We bet you don't! And think about how cool it will be to have a visual record of your life across the entire year!
Change the shape of your bokeh
This is real cool! Remember how photographers always rave about how creamy the out-of-focus areas of the images taken by some lenses look? Well… this funky idea lets you create shapes from the out-of-focus highlights!
Take your fishes around the world
The next time you go on a vacation, remember that your poor pet fishes are stuck in a tank at home. Give your pet fishes a holiday by replacing their tank background paper with a snap taken during your recent vacation!
Time-travel photography
Not really time travel, but rather time-lapse photography. Capture images of a scene across a duration of time, compile them into a video and watch as time flashes before your eyes!
Smoke your way around photography
Think you run out of things to photograph? Weather outdoors not conducive to photography? Have you tried photographing smoke trails? We have… and it absolutely rocks!
Fly me to the moon!
This idea is so deceptively simple, but the results are so gorgeous when done creatively. We don't know about you, but the results certainly brought a smile to our faces. Shows that great images can be captured with compact cameras like the Canon PowerShot and Digital IXUS too!
Ghostly encounters
Don't do this during the lunar Seventh Month, but it is hilarious turning your friends into daylight ghosts. None too scary, but nonetheless great fun!
Taking great concert photos
Eddie will probably turn his nose up at these tips, but for the the rest of us whose photos of concerts look like a sea of darkness, these tips are a fantastic way to walk away with great photos of your idol.
Impromptu street portraits
It is always fascinating to look at faces, and how they reveal a person's character. So how about taking random shots of strangers in the street and ending up with a collage of images looking like a United Colours of Benetton advertisement?
Send yourself across on the mail
Forget the scenic postcards – we can see from the internet what the other countries look like. What your friends and family would like to see more of is you! Send postcards forming a giant mosaic of yourself, and they will look forward to receiving your next postcard. By the way, you can print your images on a SELPHY compact photo printer – the prints cost just 30 cents each, and they are waterproof and marked as a postcard on the back of each 4R print!
Tell a story the photo way
Photojournalists love photo stories – a series of photos which tell the story of the article. But this takes photo stories down a few pegs so commoners like us can enjoy telling our stories too! A brilliant way to spend a rainy day!
Spin it again, Sam
Do all the photos of your kids show them looking bored into the camera? If you don't want them accusing you of giving them a sad childhood, here's a way to capture great photos of your kids grinning away! Take note – Canon will not be responsible for any injuries while trying this stunt! And kids… don't try this at home!
Great party pictures!
You know how parties are… they are fun but the photos always seem so contrived. Here are some ways to capture great photos at parties – the fun shouldn't end at the event!
Photojojo is an incredible email newsletter on photography that's full of ideas you'd wish you thought of! It was set up by two friends (and their friends) who love creative photography and sparkling ideas.
Not All Papers Are Equal
Inkjet photo papers come in various sizes and types, and a good understanding of the paper types will enable you to use the paper texture to enhance the mood of your image. First of all, you must understand what makes inkjet photo paper different from a normal photocopier paper.
Photo Murals for Your Ceiling! Cover that water damage with a colorful mural, or slap a collage of fluffy clouds over those grimy ceiling tiles.
All you need to make it happen are some photo Post-its and a stepstool.
