I bought this great book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1905814615/sr=1-2/qid=1308994518/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1308994518&sr=1-2&seller=) (just a different cover because it's in the Dutch language) and there are some very interesting ways to make photos....
There are 52 ways of creative photography but a few I'm gonna try. Like TTV photography, (through the viewfinder). A technique using your own DSLR and a TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) camera. A camera with two lenses on the front, 1 to look through and the other makes the photo. I'm gonna try to make a square cardboard box with on either side a camera.... For more info go here (http://www.binarycrumbs.com/2009/01/bringing-it-back-old-school-look-at-ttv.html)
Another project I'm going to do is buying some Legacy lenses (after putting some time in there to read about it).... NO CAN DO!! reason? I got a Canon camera and The old Canon FD connection was followed by the EF-connection of the EOS system just before the digital age!!
Creating a fish eye effect through a little round pipe (kinda) attached on your lens cap... Did it and it works great. Just the idea of making your own lens, that is fun
Creating a Pin-Hole lens by using a tin can (some piece of it) and a needle. This works great too! A nice long exposed lens, homemade.
Making a stabilization cord, where on one side you can attach to the camera and the other side has a loop to put your foot through. The idea is a good alternative for a tripod (in case you didn't bring it with you). Here's some info... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLlJl7TbXTA)
Just another project is making my own light box.... I got a lot of small stuff which I want to take photos from, so this will come in handy.
I want to make some diffusers, snoots, honeycomb spot and a ring flash made out of plastic bowl for the flash.
As you can see a lot of projects for me to do. Why i wanna do it? Just because i don't want to pay a lot of money to get the right stuff on my doormat! And the satisfaction out of it, HOMEMADE...
