Your article came at a great time, as I’m setting up to do one today. Here is one I did a few months back for my Cowboy preacher husband. Thank you for all the tips! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/24506303139dbef641e87f77b2d667cbfc5f9ca662f576e680bad16db7e1ef6b.jpg

Very inspiring, thanks. I’m often frustrated because I have anything but expensive gear, which makes me feel like I have very few chances to take decent photos. However, these articles remember me that I can do a lot with a little and, of course, a bit of inspiration.

“… as long at it stays still, it is a still life.” Since so much that I shoot doesn’t stay still, this brought a revelation to me; flowers in a field or on a shrub are ‘still life’ (unless the wind is blowing, like it almost always does here.)
So much of my macro is difficult to shoot because even a very slight breeze moves the ‘still life’ from focus. Sometimes, it works.
The flower reminds me of an animal looking out of a sheltered area.
The fly waited patiently while I focused. Hence, it is a ‘still life’ photograph.

In reply to Tim Lowe. Yes, great for seeing how different setting work when you use the same subject. Love still life's stillness, still and quiet subjects are great! Feel free to share any of your experiments Tim.
