Looking for a fun, creative indoor photo activity? These FIVE classes in one complete course are going to provide you with all the information and tools you need to create amazing art at home. The classes are divided into segments for each separate technique.
First, you’ll photograph water and cooking oil. Then you’ll move on to water drops on rain-x treated glass with colorful subjects underneath. After this class, you’ll move on to working with milk and food coloring for unique abstracts that even the kids can create with you. Next is a slightly more complicated task of setting up a scene to work with smoke rising from incense and a dedicated flash unit. If you don’t own a flash, you can try using bright lights and faster shutter speeds to freeze the smoke. It’s a ton of fun. The post processing section of this unit is especially interesting where we get to create fun shapes out of our smoke streams. The final section is going to cover close up butterfly images at home in a light box. If you have kids, this is the one you’ll definitely want to include them in. Many classrooms raise these same kinds of critters for life cycle demonstrations. But we’re going to raise them in a light box…the perfect environment to get crazy close up images that are nearly impossible outside. No more chasing them around. They’re right in front of you. After just a day of photographic euphoria, you’ll release them to the wild to live out their lives.
