Surely during the day you have times when you can no longer see one more chapter of your favorite series or read another chapter of that book that has you so hooked. Well, take your camera out of the closet or grab your mobile because we are going to give you some guidelines to take advantage of this closing time.

Let's start with something simple such as portraits : let's choose the same frame (a corner of the house clear and with good light) and take pictures alone or in company, every day, with our pajamas .

If we don't have any free walls in the house or any background that excites us and we want to set up a small studio at home, let's dedicate time. It is easier than it seems to be. We can use sheets of different colors (better smooth than patterned) and we can attach them to the wall with thick zeal or with clips (if what we want is to cover a shelf).

Choose a plain background or hang a sheet to create a studio effect.

They can also be hooked to the bathroom bar or screen or to the upper frame of a door, for example. And if we have children or we want to add a little creativity, we can dye the sheet at home or decorate it with fabric paint. We will tell you how to give this fund different uses throughout our running of the bulls.

We can also choose to do the opposite and make a portrait looking for a different corner of the house. Every day someone in the family can choose the frame and that's how we make everyone participate in this album.

PLAY FAMOUS WORKS

Making interpretations in photography of our favorite paintings is something that can take some time but can be very interesting. We can also assemble movie scenes , create Cindy Sherman characters or try to imitate our favorite photographers.

If we live in company they are good moments to photograph the other in their daily life . Even if they get annoyed at first, because the camera is still an eye that looks and intimidates, they will get used to it and allow you to capture them naturally. And if possible, photos without flash, hence the importance of natural light.

There are beautiful everyday scenes and there is never time to dedicate a photo to them. Now is the time: a coffee, a reading, a nap, a laugh.

What do we live with young children? What a good time to take all those photos that we always think about and never give us time. If we have a reflex or bridge camera, we must raise the speed as much as possible , otherwise we will be moved.

Children allow creativity to be unleashed.

A good idea is to start an activity: dance, paint, read, take a bath ... And once you are immersed in it, move away a little and start taking photos. We can also put in the hands of the little ones an old camera that we have at home or a disused mobile phone and thus everyone to take photos.

The experience of this running of the bulls promises to be so intense that it is well worth making a good selection of the photographs obtained and printing them in order to prepare a physical album: that which was so common before and now between the lack of time and the digitization of our whole life. It has become a rare bird.

DO YOU WANT TO SEND US YOUR FAMILY PHOTO?

We encourage you to put these tips to the test and, if you feel like it, send us your photos to viajes@elmundo.es. With all of them we will prepare an album that we will publish on the web. Very important: minors under 18 years of age cannot appear in the image (we would need a special express authorization). Tell us that your full name and the place from where you send us the image. Cheer up everyone and enjoy the photography sessions!
