[Theme] Still Life

September 27th, 2010
Well done to Peter for winning last weeks theme of Humor (ok, who left the light on?). I got in touch with Peter and he has chosen Still life as our theme for the week.

If you're unsure what "Still Life" is, check out this brief explanation

Peter also suggested you may like to have a look at these photos, as a bit of inspiration.

Good theme and easy to do!

Thanks Ross, it was difficult to come up with a theme that we hadn't used before, I liked the idea of a theme that could be tried by anyone and that you didn't even have to leave the house to do it!

It's a discipline that is hard to get to grips with, but one where the photographer controls everything, the arrangement of the objects and the light, etc.

I'm very excited about this theme- right up my alley! Hopefully I get some inspiration this week- wish this had been last week- I was very inspired to take these types of photos last week!

CONGRATULATIONS PETER!!! :) great theme! :)
September 27th, 2010
congrats to Peter! I've never done anything with still life before so this is great for expanding my knowledge on photography! wonderful theme! :D
September 27th, 2010
Congratulations, Peter! Wonderful theme!

I've never manipulated my setting (much) before, so this will be a nice stretch for me.
In the link above, in "brief explanation" it said that there is a "story" in most still lifes. What does that mean? Can you elaborate? I haven't thought that most still life's have a big story, just good props and lighting.

wow congratz & nice choice peter.... and thanks for linking my page... =)
September 27th, 2010
Fun theme!
September 27th, 2010
weird, i thought this past week's theme was lines, and humor was the week before that....ah well. glad to see the theme link has returned to the bottom right-hand corner.
September 27th, 2010
Something is wrong now. We seem to have theme-stillife and theme-stilllife and there are photos in both.

And congrats to Peter!
September 27th, 2010
Congratulations Peter, as i am a real beginner this is a good one for practise for light, composition etc. thankyou

@oldvoltage Hi Kelly, if i am right, next weeks Theme will be last weeks winner of Lines, so we are working 2 weeks ahead, so if you win this weeks theme you pick the wEek after next?? if i am right that is.
September 27th, 2010
@Tiina - yes it looks like the tag at the start of this thread is a link to images which have been tagged with only 2 l's whereas most people are using 3 l's to tag with - I hope Ross can sort this out
September 27th, 2010
Congrats Peter, I'm a huge fan of your work :D
I'm stoked about this theme, should be lots of fun since it has so much wiggle room
September 27th, 2010
@cookie123 ahh, that clears it up. thanks! :)
September 27th, 2010
Way to go Peter on your win for the theme.
September 27th, 2010
Congratulations Peter!

Ok, still life here we come. Thanks for the links!
September 28th, 2010
Congrats Peter! And fab idea for the theme :-) gonna be interesting!
September 28th, 2010
@Scrivna my old eyes were going crossed at the lineup of i's and l's in "stilllife", but I notice that although your "theme-stilllife" has 3 L's, the link you provide above only has two http://365project.org/tags/theme-stillife. So there are a few of us that placed that spelling in our tags :-)
September 28th, 2010
Congrats, Peter! :-)) Great idea for a theme!
September 28th, 2010
@Peter Van Allen that was a great link! Wow, those are some awesome shots!
