sandwich bag photography :: diy photography :: central illinois photography





do you admire the ethereal feeling some fine art photographs have?  well, i'm going to share a little secret with you today!  you don't need photoshop or any other fancy photo editing software to achieve this affect.  instead, simply wrap a plastic sandwich bag around your lens.  if you are really feeling creative, you can even color the bag a bit with marker to add a bit of foggy color to your photographs.

diy:

  1. save your sandwich bag from lunch
  2. cut hole slightly smaller than the diameter of your lens into bag
  3. color with marker (optional & messy)
  4. slide onto lens so that hole is centered(ish) and you can view your subject
  5. snap away (it might be easier to use manual focus)
if you give this a try, i would love to see your results!  share on cp :: photography's facebook page!
