My latest still life assignments for Be Still 52 are below. We were challenged to give the subject of our still life “room to breathe.” The first image shows my usual style- off center, close up, shallow depth of field- and part of the subject not in the frame. The second image adds some space surrounding the subject. It was interesting to me how difficult it was to be this far away from what I was photographing- I kept wanting to step closer. A good exercise!
Both photos are textured with Kim Klassen’s waterfront 1.

It’s good to shake it up from time to time! With me you never know what you’re going to get! 😉
Totally agree, Barb! It’s so easy to get in a rut and continually see things the same way. It’s good to try something different. 🙂
