Still Life seems to have captured my attention lately. I’ve been pouring through information on lighting and still life composition….there’s a lot to learn. But of course that’s one of the things about photography that’s so much fun—there’s always something new to learn! :-D

    You’re doing just such an amazing job with these still life pieces! You’ve got some great stuff to do them with – I hope you’re enjoying that fruit after you took the shots! You deserve it! The colours in this one are sweeeet!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Thanks Jan! I keep looking around the house at the bits and pieces and realize there are still life ideas everywhere. And as for that fruit….yum!

    You have a way of taking my breath away with each and every photograph you take. The effects are so fantastic you inspire me to learn much more about photoshop but…................ it frustrates me endlesly you set such a high standerd.

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Oh my, Sandra. What a wonderful comment and I thank you for it. Yes, I totally understand the frustrations of PhotoShop. I feel as if I’ve been banging my head against that particular brick wall for two years now. I don’t know what version you’ve got but I can’t recommend Scott Kelby’s books highly enough if you haven’t already got one of them.

    Holly, such absolutely superb work!!!! Your lighting, color mix, textures, and the simple but elegant story you tell with these still lifes are just fantastic! Oh my goodness…you have developed another aspect to your artistry that is just amazing. You GO GIRL!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    LoL….Thank you my friend for your encouragement as I push up this learning curve mountain! With the grey and very dull light we have here this week there’ll be more time for thinking about the story telling aspects than there will be for actual photography…a worthwhile time-out I think.

    Dear Holly thank you so very much for telling me about Scott Kelby . I have not heard of this guy nor seen any of his books I will go and look for at as soon as possible. Could be that we can not get them in S.A. but then I will go and look on Amazon You are a honey thank you so much

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    You’re welcome Sandra. Kelby is really good with the step-by-step approach which helps a lot since it’s so easy to miss one step and find yourself at a complete loss while learning a particular aspect of PS. Good luck with the shopping!
