The themes this month are classic photography ideas – Still Life can be the classic tabletop subjects such as flowers, fruits, and objects or it can be a play on the theme ‘still life’. All participants went classical and shared images that would fit an Edward Weston or Imogen Cunningham workshop. There was a successful use of Reflect photography software to add a reflective effect to a still life whisk.
Sept 7th we had a Harvest Moonrise meetup in San Diego by the Coronado Bridge. Some others in the group preferred the San Diego skyline from Shelter Island.
Gary requested a revisit of the Flash Photography theme and he shared an image taken on film years ago. The rest of us did not have anything in this category although it’s one of my favorites in recent months.
Storytelling is the general idea of using three or more shots of a location to tell a story photographically. Usually starting with a wide ‘establishing’ shot, then a medium shot, and finally a detailed closeup. There were a few sets, one from from Heather – a graffitied levee, and Jim’s Oceanside Museum of Art current “Fabulous Fiber’ exhibition. Jim’s ‘still lifes’ were closeup images of artworks.
Norm, whose been absent from the meetings for awhile, submitted some wonderful still life images. (Thanks, Norm and join us anytime)
Thyrra missed the meeting but submitted some Sept 7th Harvest Full Moon Rising images.
“Still Life” images were my favorites of September. Here’s the images shared:
