I'm doing the Project 52 over at Lighting Essentials for Photographers.
Week three's assignment is a still life. I'm not any good at abstract assignments. Tell me go photograph this and that, I can do. Tell me to create this xx photograph I can do. Tell me to make a stil life that represents calm and relaxed, I'm lost. To me calm and relaxed would be at the target range shooting a firearm, or messing with the computer but to others they would be far from it. If I had my bike Id super clamp the camera on and shoot me going down a two lane road in the desert. Next best thing for me to take a shot of me driving the same road in my truck.
As you can tell I relax differently than most. Here are the two ideas that I came up with so far. Since it said gather your props and make the image.
1). Take a beautiful photo of a new Mexico sunrise and put it on my iPad shot on a white background that is blown out.
2). Take my Bible turn it to a certain verse and shoot it either on a black bg or a white one that is blown out.
Do either of these work for you if not suggest something simple that I might have laying around. I don't do flowers.
