8. Cookery section.
Contest goal:
Still life photography is the depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects. Still life photography, more so than other types of photography, such as landscape or portraiture, gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition. Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Knowing where to look for propping and surfaces also is a required skill. -Wiki-

Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Knowing where to look for propping and surfaces also is a required skill. -Wiki-
2. The bond…
Contest goal:
Chrome has been around us for a long time. It’s actually used to protect against corrosion as well as trimming cars and anything else metal that chromium can be electroplated to! Its solid Mercury look, reflects, and mirrors what’s around it! It has an old fashion look to it, while being futuristic. Your mission is to see if you can get more out of your picture than what chrome would already do for it! Don’t just take a photo of something chrome plated. Have the chrome, or your angle, or exposure, impact the shot! Good luck.
