[attachment=2941]We had a bad ice storm in the last two weeks. The trees where covered so thickly in ice that 20% of the trees in town are damaged. The falling branches fell on the electric wires and caused power outages for up to 10 days. All has finally been restored.

Here is an image of three pudding bowls and a tomato, illuminated by an LED torch and a home made snoot

Heres the second of my images, this time, I was experimenting with an angle poise light, which is a much warmer light, owing to it being from a tungsten source

This is my third image and in this shot I lit the subject using natural window light and a number of large reflectors to pour light into the shadows on the right hand side of the image

took to day my little Elly. christine[attachment=2520

This might comply with requirements?

[attachment=2942]

Or how about this?

[attachment=2943]

Or maybe this?

How about this? Growing in the garden, so it's alive, but there is no wind after the rain so it is stationary or not moving, thus 'still'. = Still Life Taken through a double glazed sun lounge window.

A facsimile of life (Glass Dolphin) which isn't moving = Still life?

Out for a walk at -25C the other day with low winter sun coming through fence slats and knot holes with the snow (like water) picking up the blue sky and the blue scatter.

I was teaching a friend how to paint with light when I shot this one. I like the contrast between the shadows and lighting.

Amaryllis, hope I have spelled correctly. Off the cuff, sitting in kitchen, full Auto, Flash on, shows, Zoom at 100mm, only took this one. Ed.

Piece of green sea glass filters out the red light in its shadow.

This is water droplets on a C/D. It took me a while to be able to get a good focus on the droplets. But I had a good time learning.
