Description:
After having the Still Life Workshop tonight, I thought it would be fun to have a Still Life themed contest to give everyone a chance (and the motivation) to practice what was discussed tonight.

Here is the plan:
-Create a still life image, subject of your choosing, between now and August 22.
-Editing rules are wide open, although your entry must be a single photograph (not a compilation of two or more photos). Artistic filters are allowed, but remember that this is a Photography exercise.
-Attend the Meetup on Wednesday August 22 with an 8x10 print of your entry.
-We will have a review and critique session, where members can provide feedback and encouragement!
-Voting will be by secret ballot, and only those participating in the contest will vote (others are welcome to attend, though)
-First place prize will be 1/2 lb of premium whole bean coffee from Nemo's! (if you have other ideas for prizes, feel free to email me).

That's it... Keep in mind, this is just for fun and to put into practice the Still Life concept over the next few weeks.
I will make my studio available if you need a place to shoot, and would like to borrow my lighting. Just stop in or call to schedule a time. I am typically here from 3:00pm to close, and on Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays.

I hope everyone had a great time tonight and I look forward to seeing all of you again...
Take care,
JD Anderson
