I lost my camera strap recently and haven’t had time to buy a new one. After seeing this tutorial, maybe I won’t (buy a new one, that is). I have a closest full of bags acquired from tradeshows and coferences. Most of these bags has a detachable strap that could be my next camera strap. Mattyfu shows us how to make a camera strap from about $5 in parts and basic tools many people probably already own. IF you’ve got your own way to do this, I’d love to hear suggestions.

Photography studios generally have a ton of backdrop choices at their disposal. One common common backdrop is a slightly textured background with a subtle tie-die like pattern of variations on the same color. If you purchase backdrops from a photography supply store they can be expensive. With some RIT dye and a large section of muslin cloth, you can accomplish the same thing for under $20. DIYPhotography.net shows us how to make a Cheap DIY (Homemade) Muslin Photography Background.
