Sometimes your best kept secret will be that you try anything, no matter how weird, with your camera. If you want to capture some unique and interesting photographs, you have to think outside of the box and take photos that might not occur to you automatically.  This article will give you some ideas that will help you capture more interesting photos.

Think about getting people to ask you:

• “How did you get that shot?!”
• “What the heck is that?”
• “How did you think that up?”

Things to try include:

Take Your Camera Into the Bath/Shower

(Only for the brave, careful, and steady-handed.)

Look Up

Play With A Flashlight

Get Up-Close To Ordinary Things

(This is a favorite of mine.)

Photograph Into Things

Don’t be too concerned, in this digital age of easy delete, that you won’t like what you shoot.  Just shoot – you will be delighted with what you discover and ultimately, you will learn from this kind of exercise! So shoot away; give any “weird” idea a try.  You’ll find that you soon have many unique and interesting photographs that you are proud of, and people will be asking you how to achieve this!

Show me some shots you’ve achieved this way! If you’d like a chance to have them featured here, submit them to our Photo Bliss Featured Photographs Flickr Group.
