Photographing everyday after a while becomes monotonous and the pictures I get tend to look similar. After 6 months, my photos show a very clear pattern of the topics I find interesting in everyday life. Because the whole process was becoming more and more dull, experimenting was necessary. Finding new subjects on a daily basis was way too complicated, so I played with my camera features in order to make something more unusual.One of the techniques that I would highly recommend to everyone who loves experimental (or awkward) photography is setting the white balance wrong (drastically!). Use the custom white balance and instead of sampling something white which would give you colors as they are, turn your camera to anything that has strong hue. You can get blue, purple, orange or green pictures, like when using color filters in post production, only it's more fun when you do it while shooting. I fell in love with the green tone, and I still don't want to change it back. I use the other camera modes for shooting pictures with normal color settings in order to preserve it. I remember sampling something reddish, but I was in a club and the lights had their own hue, so I really don't know if I would manage to get the same tone again.Anyway, in July I skipped only one day and although many of the images are poor quality I managed to have an interesting month. I had many night shots (days were very hot), self-portraits in reflective surfaces (I started missing myself in my photos), shots of the things I always shoot and shots made out of pure boredom and lack of inspiration. The last ones are actually the biggest step forward because they are always the ones that require pushing ourselves beyond the limits.
