[Photography] Weekend Warriors

The post Weekend Warriors appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Sime.

After a week full of new cameras being announced, we encourage you to take out the camera (or phone, that’s 100% fine too) and go make the best photographs you can.

Weekend Warriors


Here’s the new Sony a7rvi and here’s the new Canon R6v I’m sure they’re both lovely pieces of gear. You’re on a journey, you’ll get there, go make photos with what you have and don’t be continually ‘inspired to buy new gear’

Here is a list of ten ideas to go try this weekend.

  • Decaying autumn leaves and frozen dew textures.
  • Blue hour cityscapes and long-exposure traffic trails.
  • Early morning ground fog and misty landscapes.
  • Abstract macro patterns using crumpled aluminum foil.
  • Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with vertical structures.
  • Cinematic portraits using a 21:9 letterbox aspect ratio.
  • Repetitive patterns and textures at local farmers’ markets.
  • Nostalgic street photography with vintage lenses or filters.
  • Toy/miniature photography in real-world environments.
  • High-contrast architectural shadows and silhouettes.

It’s 9:36am on Saturday here in Melbourne, I’ve already driven one child to soccer, stayed and grabbed a couple of photographs (Sony a7r3 and a Tamron 35-150mm if you’re wondering) and am now home to collect second child for the swap over…

I have two small LED lights that I’m going to try some product photography with this weekend, that’s my challenge to myself! Sheet of cardboard, two small lights, an idea of what I want to see. Wish me luck!

This was one from earlier that I tried for a review of the Espresso 15 Lite display we did.

Go forth, capture.
