Thank you, Carin for this message.
Good luck with everything!
Hugs, Mies.

I'm very late too. This is the first time I've checked to see if the new challenge was up.  Beautiful examples!

Oh goodie, hope time will allow me to keep check this challenge. Looking forward to new ideas, I kind of 'burned out: :-(

Lets get shooting (taking photos) ppl...seeyus  T

Tunde - I thought of you when I decided on the theme! Come on - get those brain cells working again!!! Hehehe...
Looking forward to something very creative from you!

@ Carin ... Fantastic theme!  Time to get busy and start looking around!  Late is okay ... I was figuring you weren't going to have ANY time this month!!!  Thanks for fitting this in between dresses and beads and candles and whatnot.  :P  You rock!

Great challenge, and I just realized there was probably a limit of three on the last one too, so my apologies for going over!

Wayne

Ohhhh, I love setting up and shooting still-lifes, although for me that also means getting out the cat repellant. With six very curious furry creatures it can be a challenge all in itself just getting a catless (and cat hairless) shot!

But I shall persevere 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Oh Tara - as you are singing my praises - just add yet another bout of flu to the list!!! Yup!!!

Wayne - no worries! Looking forward to see your still lives...

... hopefully without some whiskers or cat hair sticking out the corner... LOL...

VERY BEAUTIFUL !!! DEAR PRISKA.

Beautiful image! Lovely composition, light and reflections!

This is about as "still" as it gets. A hand from the Sisters of Mercy's memorial in Capitol Park.

very impressive!   thank to the sisters

Very special P.J.!!

Very still and very expressive, PJ.  Lovely image!

My friends, please excuse me for stepping over the edge on this "still life" photo.  It does not fit the definition of a still life but it does represent that  stillness in real life. 

A couple of years ago I had my first true exhibit with many of my photos hanging for view and comment and for sale.  This was a a small and very, very popular gourmet cafe which always drew a good crowd and many folks who appreciate art of all sorts.  A while back the cafe closed.  I wish it had not.

By good fortune the building is one business away from being next door  to where I work and I got a key to go in for a moment..  Even with several exhibits since mine, I found a hanger used in my exhibit.  I know it because I made these of drapery hooks to easily hang lightweight matted prints to the carpeted walls.   The hook was likely used in some of  the several exhibits following mine.

It was a dear memory, a piece of the exhibit in place today.  It was a sad memory also. The exhibit was well received and several sales were made.  More than sales, this first public display was for me, for confidence and for encouragement. It did accomplish  both.  Why the sad memory?   The man who opened the cafe departed this earth a few months ago when struck by a car during a personal motorcycle trip to Colorado and beautiful areas of our country.

I said another goodbye to him today when viewing the empty wall where my exhibit once proudly displayed something of me.

Yes, this is a still life of a different sort.   Look for the glint of the hanger hook  in the bottom of the image.

Very good still life, Tom. I ca appreciate it especially with your words added.

Pj...and a very good attempt. Looks so delicious.

seeya  T

Yes, this is a quiet life in more than a double significance.
Thanks for your story behind it, Tom.

P.J. Is it already two weeks old?
It is really a quiet life then.
I must say, it still looks great ;-).

:-)  The photo is also 2 weeks old.  The pie only lasted 2 days and was gone. I took this thinking I might do something with the photo later. Guess it worked out ok. :-)

Hi friends !  Now i must try to catch up on this. I see some really interesting stillife already.

Yes, it may be a busy time for members and not easy to get a photo done.  A traditional still life does take time and it either works or does not.   Lighting seems mighty important, at least from the paintings I have seen which are still life.  I am not so sure if I am good at it or not..have done a couple traditional ones but that is it.

I will try to get another one up..more traditional perhaps, maybe off the wall.  As for what is here now, honestly I like the personal interpretations here.   The ivory tower dwelling photo arts instructor might not approve but I do for forum fun...I sure do!   The bottle set by aksirp is quite nice and more traditional.  PJ...your pie is still but I bet it was not for long..now being long gone.  That is very enticing, more than apples in a wooden bowl with a candle on an old table lit with candle light and a glint from an open window with no glass, in a room looking  200 years old.  

I want to see more!  More food! **More food! ** I have lost 2 lbs and am pleased and have several pounds more to loose  but will look at  tasty delights.  Oh my.

As Helle knows, when I start featuring food, I am on a diet.  I may not be able to eat it but I sure can surround myself in it and watch everyone else enjoy it. :-) 

I hope to come up with one more still life, but so far, that would probably be a self portrait...I'm sort of inert these days. LOL

This is a still life, the first oil painting that I ever made. I do not know if this is what fits in this challenge? Many greetings to all.

I see, in small size there are small dashes on it .
In normal size it is not.
Weird.
Bye,
Mies.

I have an old flask that looks like that! My dads...he willed it to me. I like the texture in the canvass. Well done both as a painting and as a photo.

Thank you, P.J. :)

I was looking through the contents of the drawer on this old wooden desk, found some things I used to use.  From that, it became a still life.

I put a slightly larger file on my gallery since I may not be drawn to do this sort of photo again...then, who knows what photo "must" be made.

Excellent Tom!!!
This still life has a great mood too.

Buona giornata a tutti e complimenti per le prime foto che ho visto . Non è il mio genere preferito , preferisco la natura viva , ma co voglio provare Mario

Hai bellissimo soggiorno gocce catturati nella foto. Questa è bella!
Un fine settimana piacevole, Mario. ;-)

Grazie , Mies , ricambio di cuore.

Here's my first one.   I'll be posting more ... there's all sorts of great photo ops at the house where we're staying!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Nice one...sure is.  Let's see what else is in that house.. : )

And to Mario, I also prefer more natural and nature but  we do have some nice photos here.  The auto door handle is a different view for certain.

Really haven't done much in the way of Still Life, but I have been trying this month. Already put this up in the gallery. Had some problems using a flash with this shot, seem grapes and flashes don't play well together.  :  Had to use two standing lamps and a ceiling light for this.

X Tom. I agree for the beautiful photos, I like. What I meant is that I am not led to gender and occasionally shooting something that falls into it. But I admit that someone does really well.

Auntietk, this is wonderful, GREAT!

 
Hi Kim , didn't you still eaten your lovely fruit? :D

Yes Mies I ate all the fruit.  :D

If I wasn't going to eat them I would have whip vegetable oil on all the grapes to keep them from coming out looking frosted from the flash. Read about that trick in a Photographic Magazine a long time ago.

I've got some catching up to do.
Tom  - Excellent still life.  I saw the hook right away and moving story that made me think of the memories left behind when life is stilled.   I love the lines, wood grain, and lighting of your second one!
PJ - That pie looks delicious.  It looks like cinnamon on the top! Yum! Great capture!
Mies - That is beautiful!  It fits perfectly! I love the textures, brush stokes, and colors.  Nice capture of it too!
Mario - That's a still life I saw a lot of when Tropical Storm Hermine came through San Antonio.  Great detail and lighting and great capture of the drops and all their shapes and sizes.
Tara - Lovely!  Wonderful detail of the wood grain, and the grape patterns.  
kbrog - Delicious looking fruit!  It looks great against the dark background.  Beautiful capture of the glass bowl.
 

 I haven't done much of this before, but here goes.  I'll start with the one that is most like what I think of when I think of still life.  It is a perfume bottle,  science toy, and little Highland cow figure.

Science toy again, with candle behind it.

Candle alone

Great images , Lucinda ! Very beautiful ! 
Good sunday !

Very special images, dear Linda.
I like that little cow so much.
Great light with your candle and fantastic colors in all three!

 
Hey Kim, what a nice idea, with that oil.  
Would like ones, to see a result from that.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
Good Sunday to all of you!

A demonstration of what I said earlier here is a shot at the occasional dinner party for a degree awarded by a young friend a few days ago (I was the photographer for the wedding of the parents about 40 years ago, of course in B & W). 

Parts of my cellar have been untouched since the previous owner died 11 years ago at age 90. Talk about still life... ;o) Still life as a genre is often applied to play with volumes of color, lines and textures. I tried to do that here...

We do not see things as they are. ǝɹɐ ǝʍ sɐ sƃuıɥʇ ǝǝs ǝʍ
 

Oh, nice one, Geert!  Love the light and the composition.

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

here is my first entry! Books :-)

This is my first entry; books! "-)

second entry; diamond :-)

3rd and final post por moi! Enjoy; Mask!

Cheers Mario, that wine looks sparkling, it's a delightful shot!

 
And what a still life there Geert. Still for 11 years (or more :D)  
Superb idea!!!  

Love your post Lashia, very original objects this are.
LOL, It has nothing in common with Geert his still life's.

Hi, Here is my second one. Flowers from our garden: Sedum and Callicarpa berries, put on the table inside. In addition, one of my clay works.

Idea very delicate, Mies dear, I really like. A good to other authors, I do not know directly and have submitted excellent work. 

Hi friends. I am really impressed by all the wonderful still life pictures you have shared lately. I dont know where this month has gone. The 20th already? OH my. I better do something. Well, I did this morning. This one.. in the light I just had in the patio without flash.

Such a beauty image, and still life, Hellen.
Love this creation very much!!!!
It's lovely,

Thanks Mies... and so is yours with the lovely flowers.  :)

Example of the grapes in my shot using a flash.  For Mies!  :)

You can see here what I was saying about the frosting effect from the flash.

Now here is a new one, found some on sale that I don't mind wasting. The other ones were Organic and $3.00 a lb. These are reg. on sale at $1.00 a lb.

This is with Veg. oil on them.

Look nicer?

Beautiful images

Thank you, Kim. So nice that you did show this.
I'm glad surprised!! :biggrin:
Yuk, with flash the fruit is as packed with fungus. :ohmy:

LOL, I like how you have the banana 'performing'. :laugh:
Looks just great with the oil!
A fantastic and cute shot!
Thank you again :D

What a crazy white letters ??????

Oh dear - I have missed so much fun!!! I read through all the comments now and looked at all the wonderful shots you have all uploaded! Well done! It is also great to see some new faces here... Can't wait to enjoy the rest of the month with you all!!!

Yes, Mario,
When I go with the mouse over the white you can read it.
But how this happens, I've no idea.
Thank you, my friend.
A nice day to all

I noticed because it happens to me too. I often have to change the background color to read the message. To me it is because I have to translate the English message and then paste, and paste it where you like it.

It 's the first time I attended a photography forum challenge. I hope this picture goes well! It's a small vase with freesias that I tweaked with plugins photoshop! Good day to all! :-)

Well, M.C. this is a wonderful start!
I'm impressed from the beauty of your first one.
Direct a fantastic one, dear friend!
:thumbup

Thanks, Mies. You are too kind!
Hugs!   :-)

Ottimo lavoro M,C.! Splendido bilanciamento del bianco!

Grazie Mario!  Detto da te, è un bel complimento! :-)

Welcome to the forum MC... And wow - what a kick-off.... I really like the image and the postwork is FAB!!! Well done and I do hope you will upload two more...

When you ever need money, you can sell them to me.... perhaps ????

Thanks Carin.
As long as i can remember (and that till about my thirth year) my grandma had this little girl standing on the top of her display cabinet. Later my uncle bought the house and i got the little statue. The other one is a little faun made in Danish royal porcelain..... not so old :-)

HEHE Thank you Mies. I will remember it

**helanker: love upload...like the one with the frog on his knees...so cute
****micturn: lovely light.....nice place to relax

good luck all of you

hello, voilà my second still life "sunday morning outside"

Thanks Ilona :-) 

Priska it looks really cosy in your garden :)

thank you Helle, your's are so lovely, specialy the little one with the frog!

A detail of the saxophone of my nephew, the daughter of my sister. She has 16 years and is studying  piano at the Conservatory of Palermo. She wants to become a conductor such as Riccardo Muti! :-) Have a good sunday! :-)

Oh that looks quite relaxing Priska! A restful Sunday morning! Lovely still life!!

Smart sax photo indeed :-) I like all the reflections.

 great saxophon study! love it!!

Thanks to all! :-)

wow, there are so great pictures! have not be in for longe time, sorry! my last for this month...

Fantastic image, Priska! I like the play of light and shadow in this one! :-)

LOL That shadow looks like a fish :-D  Excellent.... i like that  :)

Gran bel programma quello di tua nipote: io ho sempre pensato che il più bello strumento musicale sia l'orchestra . Deve essere un pioacere eccezionale quando tanti professori aspettano un tuo gesto per dare il meglio di sè . Tanti auguri a tua nipote ! Serve un ricambio per Muti , grande direttore. BUona settimana , M.C.,
Complimenti e buona settimana anche agli autori precedenti.

Per chiudere in "dolcezza" la mia partecipazione a questa sfida, ecco dei fichi posati su una texture fornita da Mario, un prezioso amico! Grazie Mario, anche per i preziosi consigli su Photoshop! :-)

To close in "sweetness" my participation in this challenge, here are figs laid on a texture  provided by Mario, a valued friend!
Thanks Mario, also for valuable advice on Photoshop! :-)

A good week to everyone of you!   :-)

Non è facile diventare direttore d'orchestra... la strada è molto lunga e, specialmente per una donna, piena di ostacoli! Spero solo che il suo sogno possa avverarsi...  lei ce la sta mettendo tutta! :-)

Awww that is indeed a lovely and ... sweet still life Well done.

wonderful figs, dolce still live!

Excellent achievement! You have done a great job! It was worth it. Based think it's easier to do than to say 

Grazie Mario! Ho penato un po', ma poi ho trovato il modo per sistemare questi benedetti fichi sulla texture....  ho reso trasparente la zona inferiore della foto con i fichi e poi l'ho incollata sulla tua texture, con l'opzione ombra esterna ho dato un po' di spessore alla frutta... credo che il risultato sia abbastanza buono, vero?  :-)

Thank you Mario! I labored a bit, but then I found a way to put  these blessed figs on the texture....
I made trasparent the lower area of the photo with the figs and then I glued it on your texture, with the drop shadow option I gave a little thick to fruit ... I believe that the result is good enough, right? :-)

Many thanks, Helle and Priska!  I'm glad you like it!   :-)

Two wonderful additions to the forum - the shadow of the umbrella and the lovely fruit bouquet!
Well done indeed!!

Oh, and that sax is wonderful, so much blink, blink.
I love that photo, Maria C.

Thanks, Carin and Mies!  :-)

well,I have a vague  idea of what a still life is.let's see if I am right I've seen very nice images here

Still life = Natura morta!  ;-)   Ottima foto!

thnaks mc now this is a sort of funny picture:)mind  you,once they were part of a lobster.................so I presume they are as dead as any boiled lobster !

Quote - This is a still life, the first oil painting that I ever made.
I do not know if this is what fits in this challenge?
Many greetings to all.

oh Ilike the painting  and  imho it fits:)

Interessanto scatto, Alida!  Veramente originale! :-)

I liked the oil painting very much too, but i dont remember if i said it.  :-/

ANd these two still life  are beautiful and different, alida.

Brava Alida , due bei lavori , Credo che lo still-life abbia molte variabili,

Lovely still life photo's Alida.
Great idea's.
I'm curious about what your third will be,  I look forward :D.

Thank you so much for your nice words about that old oil-painting.
It was indeed the first time I used oil-paint.
(but not the last ;-)

A lovely day to all of you!
Mies.

thnaks :).I have not had much time to  take  photos but I have an old one  to show.A shell once alive ,long time ago as it is a fossil Thansk to all for the love and the comments

Eccellente scatto, Alida! La luce è bellissima! :-)

Sono d'accordo per il bello scatto ! Bella luce e direi un buon dettaglio ,Alida !

Well done on all the post so far this month!

A belated start for me...
I have been playing with the camera on my new cellphone.  I downloaded a 'retro camera' app for it and this was what I managed to achieve, no post editing!

You guys and girls come up with such a great ideas. Truly a pleasure to check back week after week. Good job!!

seeyus  T

What a special shell, Alida!

And cfulton, a great inventive idea and result.

Greetings to everyone!

I've been saving this until the last day since it's not really a still life, but it made me giggle!  I call it:  "Husband with Chair and Camera."  

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

OH  THat is just awesome Tara.    I think it is still life enough :-)))

OH ! I like that shel shot alot Alida. Excellent.

And cfulton, you really did a great job on this shot with the lemons.

Non è proprio una natura morta , ma è una natura che dorme ! Meritava lo scatto,

Not sure if it is to late but here is my entry.

Wow,I would never thought someone would love my fossil shell
thanks a lot  to all

Very funny idea, Tara!  Excellent shot!  :-)
