I'm not really a still life photography kinda girl. I know the genre is all about precision, control and lighting and even though I"m the world's biggest control freak, I much prefer the challenge of capturing every day moments, than setting up a scene to photograph. Maybe it is my lazy side coming out. (I'm a walking contradiction...which is a post for another day...). So here are my attempts at still life photography for a friendly photography group challenge. Not sure they exactly fit the genre, but I quite like them so I'll run with it. Was also fun to shoot purely in manual focus mode. Makes me feel more in control (!).

| I love the feeling of suspended animation with this shot |

| Sadly not my own idea, but an adaptation on a photo that inspired me |

| I love the symmetry and yet the asymmetry in this shot. |
I've got a few technical things to work on such as lighting, but had fun playing. And after all, isn't that what photography is all about!
