Let\u2019s face it, photography can be quite a serious business at times. Whether you are working out a hyper focal distance or arranging studio lights to avoid reflections in glass, photography requires concentration and patience. Sometimes, though, we tend to forget our roots, the reason we started taking pictures which for many of us was to have fun. Today we are going to look at some ideas to reinvigorate your photography by stepping away from the serious side and learning to play with your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Use Forced Perspective<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cliched, of course, wherever you go on holiday you will see tourists making forced perspective shots, be it holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa or stabbing your finger on the top of the Eiffel tower but it is also fun and mildly educational. Next time you are out with your camera, look for an ideal forced perspective shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get it looking right, you are going to have to move around, changing viewpoints<\/a> and experiment with focal lengths, all of which will give you some useful insights into the effect of perspective on your images. When you have got the shot, upload it to social media and let your non photographic friends give you a virtual slap on the back for being so creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
