Computer programs and apps have been developed to make life easier for photographers. From Photoshop to Instagram, editing a photograph post-production has never been easier. However, veteran photographers who’ve been around before the emergence of these apps have had the opportunity to create their own filters with everyday objects. For those who want to try it out, here are some examples.
Negatives of colored film can simply be held up in front of the camera lens, and it becomes an instant filter. The only challenge though is finding negatives of colored film nowadays.
Cellophane is a favorite of film directors and cinematographers. To create a different aura indoors, photographers would cover entire windows in cellophane. Outdoors though, they can just wrap the lens with cellophane. They can also be mixed for a more surreal image.
Wine glasses may not be the first thing that comes to mind when people mention DIY filters, but it makes for a magical shot. The trick though is experimenting with it. Move it for a more blurred image if so desired.
Drapes are obviously for indoor shots. Light-colored drapes that allow light to enter and those with designs will change indoor images dramatically.
