This is a collection of pieces of advice to make your everyday photos more enjoyable to look at; a little more with every post. These are only bits which do not claim to be complete, but are rather all you need to know at that moment.


I assume my readers are non-professionals who are interested in capturing their memories in the way they have experienced them, instead of how their camera device automatically suggests an output, thereby speaking of using anything from a mobile phone to an auto-set DSLR.

neonsugar asked: i'm thinking of trying to take a couple of maternity photos of myself in the bathtub, i don't really want to buy waterproof housing just for two or three photos. any suggestions on how to try this without ruining my dslr?

Maybe you can rent one?
Is the camera going to be under water?

I don’t know what camera you have, but some plastic bags might be right for this? You need to make sure they are completely clear though. It just came to me that there are companies that make water-proof camera plastic bags. You might have to do some google research here.

Why don’t you go to a pool with a friend/family member, it would look so much nicer than a small bathtub… :)
