Still Life

It's, you know... a jar... and a longboard... with light and shadow and stuff... processed from RAW entirely in lightroom...

I think my brain is tilted...

Thank you all for the comments and feedback on my pouter boy shot from yesterday... just so you know, the basement crawl space is miniscule and so i am very limited as to angles and distance and such...

[Simply Amanda]

Way to fulfill all the challenges at once!

[joey d.Muli]

I think your brain is a little more than "tilted"!!!! Your tag is a killer :)

[Kerri]

Awesome

[☠northy]

@jase_h my 13 year old says they are indeed Seismics... hotspots or something

[Jeff Walker]

you should tag this for the eye of the beholder challenge too

[☠northy]

@jsw0109 done... tx! i was actually mulling it over but my first thought was "of course my grungy basement is beautiful" ;p

[Jeff Walker]

well, cinder block wall, a skateboard, and an empty glass jar....not a composition most people would equate with beauty, but you gave it a noir-ish feel and that makes it beautiful

[T.J. =)]

I like it. Dark, and yet just a bit confusing.

[☠northy]

@tjs_world_part_2 only a bit? ;p tx!

[Kimberly Balychev]

Your composition is great. I love the contrast between such delicate glass on something that is usually really unstable! The light is so interesting, great shot.

[Alison Tomlin]

Rather surreal. I like it.

[Al Bailey]

Really nice shot :)

[Jase]

I now picture you as a miner. So I have pondered this for must of the day, why the jar? I mean there must have been a reason for picking a jar, over say, a lettuce, or that you had to pick something at all. Maybe the jar makes more sense than why I should ponder such things. Well, jar or not, I quite like this, though please, no lettuce tomorrow :)

[Michelle]

Fantastic capture.. Love the light and shadows x

[☠northy]

@jase_h oh yeah... the mason jar... it's for the mundane theme... as for lettuce - no worries there... i don't work with food... unless it's chocolate of course ;p

[Jase]

AH, if only I had known, I could have spent all day thinking about other nonsense :)

@northy

[❀ Lynn]

Wonderful....oh the crawl space....we had one in the house in Scarborough...it was a great play space...brought in a desk....played spies....but yup, as an adult...it wouldn't be so comfortable! But what a great work area! I like this!

[Aleksandra]

Very cool theme combination! Great play with the light and shadows!

[Judi]

Dramatic lighting paid off.

[Stacey]

You weren't kidding about the mason jar. Throw some whiskey in there when you are done and Bob's your uncle.
Very interesting combination of items...the great lighting makes it all work.

[summerfield]

wow! kid, there has to be another challenge to which this would qualify and you could hit the 'grand salami'! i love it!

[Dawn Reilly]

I am loling thinking about you with a headlamp on! it worked!

[ladyjane]

Very cool still-life.

[jerry plume]

Love this! Shootn' raw...now your getting crazy!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Well you seem to have covered all the bases here :o) So cool xx

[Judith Greenwood]

If you don't make the final there's no justice!

[David]

It's all about how you have arranged the elements in relation to each other and to the light. Very effective

[Edie]

Very awesome. Very efficient. The light is fantastic.

[Amaya Williams]

Way to think outside of the box! Like the pools of light,
