Goodnight Mr. Edison... by monocotylidono

Governments around the world, are setting targets to phase out the use of Incandescent light bulbs, in favour of more energy-efficient fluorescent sources of lighting, effectively “sunsetting” one of the most ubiquitous inventions of the 20th century. Thomas Edison created the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb in 1879. Little did he know how much his invention would contribute to the energy crisis that dominates the 21st century!... (This is my first attempt at Digital Art, so I’d love to hear your comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc. I’ve started with a picture of a red lightbulb and used PS CS2 and most of the techniques in this tutorial for the water reflections. Unfortunately, it looks like it has since been removed) .

Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation by tazzina

Paris, Fr.

Still Life Photography begins with a thought or vision in your head. The photographer not only takes the photograph, but completely creates it from the ground up: the background, setting, lighting, composition of the inanimate object, the mood or overall tone of the image.
Still life is not landscapes, not really macro, not portraiture, and not anything moving, it’s photography that has been posed by the artist.

Many photographers tend to use Still Life as an outlet to experiment with different techniques; to push boundaries, to be more creative and artistic. We are completely creating how we want the viewer to see, to feel, to experience the image, and it is because of this that Still Life normally shows an artist’s distinct personal style and expression.

Most Still Life Photography begins with a controlled environment with adequate lighting conditions to properly convey the image. Thus the majority of Still Life images are created in studios or lightboxes. But this is not always the case. We may happen to stumble upon the perfect opportunity for stills in our everyday lives. But the image must be purposely and skillfully composed to create a specific intended image, otherwise it is just a snapshot and not a Still Life.
