The SOOC Still Life Challenge...01/19/09
The Challenge: Show us your best Straight Out Of the Camera (SOOC) Still Life
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), The Curious Camel, Bill Pador, Karina, Creative Deviance, Johnloguk, MSpencer, Trevlan, FotoEffects, Hillary, MyKey, and myself.
The Result: "SOOC Still Life"!
Recently I was visiting my daughter and her fiancee, Mike.
Mike was going to the grocery store and while giggling, he suggested that I go with him and "bring your camera! Last time I was there I saw a display which you might want to photograph!"
OMG! I immediately told him of the challenge for this week!! LMAO, he went to finish his shopping, while I was changing the camera settings inbetween several shots. Mike had already checked out, put the bags in the car and couldn't figure out why it was taking me so long.
Well........the first Asst. Manager (who had stopped by to ask what I was doing) apparently gathered up and came back with the Manager, a female Asst. Manager AND the Security Guard!!
Mike could barely contain himself!! He was envisioning walking in the door at home, and Kamryn asking, "Hi Honey....huummm....where's my Mom?" "Oh, she got arrested! For taking pictures of a nude, headless chicken!"
(and BTW: it was a Hispanic grocery store.....and we were the only caucasians in there!)
The facts are that it didn't quite come to that, but almost!! At first I told Mike that I wasn't sure I had the nerve (or whatever!) to use this as my submission for this challenge; as we were laughing on the way home, we decided that I now HAD to use this one because of the story!
Re: photo info, this was in a glass-front refigeration case. A couple of days later, I also used this as a practice session for using some of the in-camera editing features, which I had never done before.
P.S. Kamryn was soooo glad she didn't have to come bail me out!!
I have an alternative image in my daily photo gallery
