Camera height, angle, cropping

This photo was taken without looking at the viewfinder, as the camera was so low to the ground, and it was impossible to look at it at that angle. And surprisingly it didn't looked bad. I  used 18mm lens, f5.6, iso 400.


This photo shows, how I can use crop to provide decent results. I also tried to keep all the lines straight.



Low camera hight, wide angle. I was pretending to be taking photo of the cars nehind, while I was actually was waiting for bypassers. Unfortunately, the lady heard be pushing the button and faced the camera.




While capturing the photo I tried to make it as minimalistic as possible, and symmetrical as well.


This photo was taken from above my head without looking at the camera. It seems nice to me because of all randomness that happens in it.


Camera is facing the bell at 90° angle. I also tried to follow rule of third.

Photographic experiments

To achieve this effect, I had to shake my phone really fast, and due to rolling shutter I got this wavy effect.




I took a picture of me with a beard using fixed camera and light, then shaved, and took another picture. After that I combined both in photoshop.





Here I took many pictures of the beach during the snowstorm, and in Photoshop combined them into the big panorama.



Also a panoramic picture of a shore, but during calm weaher.



Photo taken in London. I found it interesting, how the big and the small car were looking together.




Working lightbulb shot on a 1/4000 exposure.




Photo manipulation. I used photo taken from my mobile phone on a background, and painted a raven in the foreground.








Some more photo manipulations with animals added. I had to perfectly transfer the lighting and color from the photos to the added piece, to make them match together.

LIFE IN A COUNTRYSIDE - LOCATION PHOTOSHOOT

My intentions for this location shoot was to visit one old man who, during the winter time, lives in a village far away from city, and capture some bits of his life.

As the air temperature was low enough, and I had to do most of the stuff outside, I had to consider wearing really warm clothes and gloves, to not get any health problems after.

As equipment I planned to use Nikon camera and a reflector for additional lighting.

I wanted to have reflector in this photoshoot, but it came out, that it wasn't possible to get one in exact time I wanted it, so I had to deal with natural light only. 

In my photos I tried to capture daily life of this old man and the enviroment he lives in.

He was happy to see someone and kindly showed me his property.

Photos were shot using Nikon camera with 50mm, f1.8 lens, and later were cropped and color-corrected in Photoshop.

The settings for most of them were - iso 400, f2, exposure - 1/2000, 1/1000 and 1/200.  I had to lower the shutter speed as it was getting darker, but I wanted to have same depth of field and I didn't wanted to increase ISO as it might cause greater noise. This caused some motion blur appearing on some photos, so I had to really concentrate on holding camera still, which wasn't easy because of negative air temperature.

Also some photos were not lucky enough because of the low air temperature, I used auto-focus and it didn't worked correctly in many cases.

I was invited for a cup of tea inside of man's house, and this sudden change of temperature caused camera lenses to sweat which made it impossible to use for a while, that is why I captured only one decent photo of the interior which you can see above.
