In this episode, some fun photography hacks!
This one is to create an illusion of your hand going through a wall.
It requires no editing at all.
All you need is the panorama function on your phone camera.
To do this, just hide behind the pillar and grab your friend’s shirt.
Have the photographer start panning the camera
until she reaches the pillar.
After that, run to the other side and push your elbow against the wall.
Just make sure you angle your elbow properly
to get the most convincing picture.
Here’s a cool trick you can try for fun.
Sit on a stool and pose as if you’re floating.
Then ask your photographer to get the same picture
without you and the stool.
Once you’ve taken your photos, go to the Snapseed app.
Next, just open the photo with you in it.
Head down to “Tools”,
go to “Double Exposure”.
Now add the photo where you’re not in it.
Align the 2 photos as best you can.
Adjust the opacity to 100.
Next view your edits.
Press “Double Exposure”
and push on this thing in the middle.
Erase the stool.
And then once you’re done, press the tick!
Viola, your stool is gone and now you’re floating!
Have you seen people posting on Instagram with the #pixeldanceoff?
Google recently launched the Dancing Childish Gambino Playmoji
and you can include it in your photos and videos.
Just head to the Google camera app, more and then playground.
Then launch the playmoji mode.
I can’t dance!
Most people take photos of their subject at shoulder height.
Next time try taking a photo from a lower angle,
That way, your subject will look slimmer and taller!
When it comes to posing,
instead of facing the camera straight on,
why not angle your body and move your shoulders forward,
that way, you’ll have a better shape.
Another hack you can try is actually using the 6-4 rule
when taking a full-body shot.
Instead of just placing your subject in the middle of the photo,
step back and go a little wider.
Your subject should occupy around 40% of the photo
while 60% is empty space!
Combining both these hacks will make your photos look so much better!
If you gonna take some photos,
why not make it interesting by finding something to put in the foreground?
That way, you will be the focus
and the foreground will be in soft focus.
So this is how most people would take a photo.
But now, what my friend is doing is actually positioning
the flower in front of the camera so that it becomes soft focus.
This way it's going to make your photo so much better,
and then you can show off to your friends!
Most of the new phones these days have the wide angle selfie mode
which is absolutely fantastic to take group photos.
Why not up your photography game and use it for sceneries as well.
What I like to do is go up to a tree
and take a picture from below looking up.
All you need to do is set it to the widest angle
and you frame your picture up
and you'll have a beautiful shot.
Don't take photos straight on, always explore different angles.
For example, if you gonna take a photo in front of a wall,
most people take it like this.
It can look a little flat so why not try a different angle
and make your picture more interesting.
Did you know that you can use portrait mode on your phone
to make your non-portrait photos look even better?
For example, when you're shooting a puddle,
try using portrait mode to make that perspective really pop!
Now when it comes to glary days like this one,
sometimes it can be a little hard to open your eyes.
So the trick is to close your eyes
and then only open them when your photographer friend
is about to take the picture.
So 1, 2, 3, open.
That way, you won't be squinting in your picture.
Did you know you can make stop motion videos
really easily using Google Photos?
Now the key is you have to make sure
your camera is not going to move.
The next thing to do is to position your object in the frame.
Take his 1st photo.
Now, let's move him to his next position.
Continue this all the way through till he's out of your frame.
Alright, so I've created the pictures that I like.
Go into your Google Photos,
and then you want to go into the 3 little dots at the top
and then go to animation
and then select the photos that you want to animate.
Press create and then it'll do everything itself.
You can see, it has made a very cool stop motion video!
And we've come to an end of yet another episode.
