Cheap can be more fun than you think

“my lens is cheap”, “I have an old camera”, “I only have one strobe” etc.
In all honesty, of course gear is important but you can create awesome art/photos etc. with your phone nowadays. My moto over the year has been “if people look at the quality of the pixels the image is not strong enough” that doesn’t mean you can just “wing” it and don’t care about your gear, but it shouldn’t be the main focus.

Using a data projector for some really cool lighting effects

Projectors are great for presentations and movies
But did you ever think about using a projector as your main lightsource?
Think about all the options you have when you can literally paint all your lights, sharp or soft edges, all colors you like or maybe even a whole photo. When using a projector as your main lightsource you will never run out of ideas.
