External Effects


Two-faced - Not Me? - 53/365

There are a number of ways you can improve a shot by using things that are not connected to the camera, taking a photo through water for example, this is another one of thoose ways.

to get this effect i used a childs toy that you look through which breaks the image into the effect you see here, i held this up to the lens of my camera, pointed it at the mirror which i was standing infront of and then took the shot.

this can be rather hard if like me you dont have really steady hands, i found that forcing the flash to fire caused the image to steady and reduce blur.

ill try and get some photos of the toy up later today.
