Still Life by northy

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...
Way to fulfill all the challenges at once!

I think your brain is a little more than "tilted"!!!! Your tag is a killer :)
January 22nd, 2013  
Awesome

@jase_h my 13 year old says they are indeed Seismics... hotspots or something
January 22nd, 2013  
you should tag this for the eye of the beholder challenge too
January 22nd, 2013  
@jsw0109 done... tx! i was actually mulling it over but my first thought was "of course my grungy basement is beautiful" ;p
January 22nd, 2013  
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
January 22nd, 2013  
I like it. Dark, and yet just a bit confusing.
January 22nd, 2013  
@tjs_world_part_2 only a bit? ;p tx!
January 22nd, 2013

Some interesting and appealing shadows. I like it.
January 22nd, 2013  
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.
January 22nd, 2013  
Rather surreal. I like it.
January 22nd, 2013  
Really nice shot :)
January 22nd, 2013  
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 :)
January 22nd, 2013  
Fantastic capture.. Love the light and shadows x
January 22nd, 2013  
@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

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!
January 23rd, 2013  
Very cool theme combination! Great play with the light and shadows!
January 23rd, 2013  
Dramatic lighting paid off.
January 23rd, 2013  
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.
January 23rd, 2013  
wow! kid, there has to be another challenge to which this would qualify and you could hit the 'grand salami'! i love it!
January 23rd, 2013  
I am loling thinking about you with a headlamp on! it worked!
January 23rd, 2013  
Very cool still-life.
January 23rd, 2013  
Wonderful lighting
January 23rd, 2013  
Very appealing!

I don't see the dark, it's all that light that floods this photo which I love!
January 23rd, 2013  
Love this! Shootn' raw...now your getting crazy!
January 23rd, 2013  
Well you seem to have covered all the bases here :o) So cool xx
January 23rd, 2013  
If you don't make the final there's no justice!
January 24th, 2013  
It's all about how you have arranged the elements in relation to each other and to the light. Very effective
January 24th, 2013  
Very awesome. Very efficient. The light is fantastic.
January 25th, 2013  
Way to think outside of the box! Like the pools of light,
