this picture, and some worse ones before it were the starting point of my still life photo shoot today. i know hardly anything about photography, nor the rules of still life. it's fun though to fake it. i think my pictures gradually get better.the subject- a flower i made in kids community, where i was helping out on sunday. this day was a be good to your earth cause god made it day. the kids took recycled materials, and invented something out of them. out of recycled materials, i made this flower.
what else used:
salt
foil
petals
yellow flowers
light
brown table
i took like 50 pictures...i picked what i thought was the best in the wee hours of the morning

:-D....okay let me tell you that the beauty of still life and photography in general is that it really doesn't matter what you shoot...one thing to pay attention to that will automatically improve any peice of work: lighting...w/ still life it doesn't matter what you shoot, its the lighting that can make it intersting...side lighting is always best...but hey it doesn't really matter...as long as you like your work, then it doesn't matter who else does....
<3...miss you!
oh..ps...i like the ones where you mixed the created flowers with the real ones and littered the area around with petals and foil and stuff...and the black and white ones were better to me cause so much was going on that color just made it more crazy..bw always makes a complicated thing more simple...but that's just me...:-D
i agree beth. i like those the best too. :)
