ok, i live in bc....we have had a month of rain, I have left the city with its never ending photographic opportunities and am in the country now. I do have a studio set up but I am not so good with ideas for studio/set up shots. Does anyone have ideas of what I can do to make studio shooting more interesting? Or ideas of what to shoot in there? I do not have access to people at the moment.
(If I could only get some wildlife in my studio : ) )

What's wrong with shooting in the rain ? :)
Reflections, drops, wet spider webs, kids splashing in puddles, rainbows (if it ever stops), breaking sunlight, raindrops running down windows, wet animals, great, even light for macro shooting,

Well I could shoot more in the rain, I have some, but I would like to improve on my studio skills. No other ideas?
My camera seems to be fairly waterproof in the rain Gordon, do you find that as well...I have been out in a few downpours.

days of the week. Use yourself as the model. Try to show how you feel about the day you are shooting. I've done Sunday and Monday so far and have got stuff together for Saturday and ideas for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Thursday has me stumped. It's fun, gets you used to the studio and lets you experiment with poses/lighting/directions. You don't have to show anyone if you don't want to. It also helps you get your thoughts and work flow organized.
I hate being in front of the camera, but this exercise is great for building a feeling of empathy for your future models. |

Pretty half naked people usually do well with the crowds. If you can' get that right you know you need more practice ;)
Seriously though, just find a boring object in your house and work to light and frame it so it becomes intersting. A glass, a key, a lamp, a toilet paper roll, etc. You'be a better photographer when you can make even mundane objects appear exciting. |
