Using Experimental Techniques

Experiment with a range of DIY filters you can try, see below or try to invent your own! You may choose your own content to photograph, but try to make the filter effect relevant to the content.

Choose one of these to experiment with, edit and add at least 2 photos to your Visual Diary.
