1. Get a bulb

Now what on earth can a bulb do? It can act as your tripod. No I'm not medically insane. It actually does. Take the lampshade off and tie the camera to the lampshade holder. Trust me the party pictures look awesome and you are the new Micheal Kenna.

2. Get a PEZ on the hot shoe

3. Flashing day and night

If you are an outdoor photographer, the same kind of lighting is sure to get you bored. A wedding or an engagement is where the lighting can never be forced upon. The trick to changing the lighting is to the flash at maximum power. The subject will turn out to be extremely bright.

Likewise, in case you need it out to darken all the way, the background can be turned to night just by changing the focus of the subject to expose on your camera settings. There you go, Night in the middle of broad daylight.

4. Take the lens off

Take the lens off and hold it in front of your camera t makes it function like a macro lens. This is one of the neatest tricks to get the exact that works as if it is a charm.

5. Make a bokeh out of cardboard

Make a bokeh of any kind, and hold it over the lens. But the aperture has to be very large if you are using this kind of a bokeh. The bokeh is simply to be made by cutting out a cardboard to a shape, and then sharpening it by a knife. The shape should be large enough to accommodate a nickel.

This was the first area of damage to be addressed and made a priority before further handling could be accomplished. We proceeded to apply our "Premier Print Dryer Model TP (Twin Print)/110."
