Thanks for another fun session, it is great to see the photos you are coming up with. Even if they aren't something you would hang on your wall, doing exercises that get you thinking a little different will help you create better images in the future. Keep playing, trying different things and see what works for you and what doesn't.

We talked about creating a still life in your house and making photos of it. If you like to photograph landscapes when you are outdoors think of this as a mini-landscape where you get to control every element in the image. It can be as complex or simple as you like. Think about my 10 points when creating the still life photo:
1. Choose a Strong Focal Point
2. Use the Rule of Thirds
3. Create Depth with Layering
4. Balance Shapes and Sizes
5. Consider Color Harmony
6. Think about the Lighting
7. Use Negative Space Wisely
8. Experiment with Textures and Surfaces
9. Pay Attention to Perspective
10. Keep It Simple and Intentional
Here are your challenges from the session:
Challenge #5 Create a still life
Challenge #6: Blue hour from inside your house
Challenge #7: Try some water drops
Email your photos to Loren@LorenPhotos.com. If you prefer you can use WeTransfer.com
Resize to 2000 pixels if you can.
Rename them with your name, ie: LF01, LF02, LF03
