Yes. We already thought of that. But Caedes asked to count at least ± 30 pics to create a gallery. I'll search in the permanent galleries. Can you help me, Robert? :-)

Maybe we could have a Terragen dumping ground as well so you dont have to wade through terminal amounts of sea/sun/sky renderings of variable quality and originality....

"Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps"
Robert: I visited the 'Photography->Nature' gallery and I chose:
Water Droplet on Aspen Leaf
Vermont Leaf
Autumn
Drift Away With Me
Natures Death
Maple Leaves 2
Taxodium and Platanus
Do you agree with these choices? If yes, I see there is much more than 30 photos and I can create the new gallery.

1. Representation of inanimate objects, such as flowers or fruit, in painting or photography.
2. A painting, picture, or photograph of inanimate objects.
The meaning of "still life" is not necessarily limited to 'dead nature' (a common misconception). The key word here is inanimate, which also embraces a sense of motionless, of being pastoral or at peace."Still Life" is a category which I believe is too broad at the moment and needs better definition. The problems become even more pronounced with images of cut flowers and picked fruit, both of which already fit better in other galleries, and with extreme close-ups of fallen leaves or of drops of water -- both of which still fit better under 'macro'.

Sure, sir, the ship's sure shipshape, sir.
I agree with camerhound, still life may be to broad of a category for a new gallery. That is why in my original post I aslo suggested; table top or studio. I personally like studio.
If anyone has an idea for a title I am sure that +ppigeon is open for suggestions.

Photography is not a trade - it is an art. It is more that an art.

I do like Phil's suggestion on a Terragen gallery, I think there should definitely be enough images for one, yes?

in the permanent galleries there are actually not all that many terragen images. Most of them end up getting deleted. Personally I don't see a problem with them...but that's my opinion.

~~"If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. -Vincent Van Gogh
We already have "Computer -> Landscape", that is specific enough I think. As RR said, most of the TG's Phil is referring to are probably in the "New" gallery (if not all).

-Everyone is entitled to my opinion-
Hehe! But you're clicking on your mouse... ;-)
My thoughts:
1) fotobob and I were thinking about a new 'Photography->Still life' gallery. Nothing to see with Terragen or Computer images.
2) If we want to create this gallery, that's for classical still life pictures, like fruits, dead flowers, ..., but staying in nature. Like we can see on paintings.
See Urchins or Pine cone
Title: "Nature still life" maybe?

When I think of still life, I see inanimate objects on a table top, artificial light, not necessarily nature. Urchins I believe still fits better under macro, Pine cone was taken outdoors so it fits better into nature. Bring that cone indoors on a table with plain background to isolate it from its natural surroundings, and I think you have a good still life. Same criteria for the urchins and you have a good still life. Otherwise everything on this planet would be still life as we have stopped its action by catching a moment in time. Obviously, just my impression...not sure if I share that with others?

Mmmh. I received a PM of fotobob. It seems he agrees with you. Difficult to define, like Tracy said...
Any ideas?

I agree with you all of the way. I think of a still life or table top as "An item or group of items selected by the artist and arranged in such a way as to please the eye. Lighting can be natrual or artificial and is adjusted in such a way, as determined by the artist, to present this subject as the artist preceived it in their mind."
This is not to say that we will always agree with the artist's view or subject selections but that's where choices of the individual come into play.

This is the one that has started this whole mess.

As I was trying to determine a Gallrery it dawned to me that this image didn't fit into any one but General. I feel that there is enough images in he varoius galleries to justify another one by any name that you wish to give it. I persoanlly like Table Top. When time permits I will go through the galleries again and add some more links for you to look at.Thanks to ppigeon who had to teach this dummy how to do it

That last one could also go in "Macro" though...
I think a "Still life" category would be good for the others but only: a. If there are enough to justify a new gallery b. It doesn't mean we are just moving photos from other galleries where they fit in just as well or better.

I agree Sam, the others were from the general gallery. I was going to say that but with the non-existant background I felt a stronger feeling toward the still. If the watch was attached to my hairy arm with a bit of background blur happening, my feeling would be more toward the macro gallery. But, because the photographer set this shot up with lighting, I believe it fits nicely to the proposed still gallery.

Yay, bring me a gallery full of eggs and balanced wine glasses!!!
Seriously tho, I love still life imagery. Takes alot of imagination.

"Then as it was,
Then again it will be.
An' though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea."
For me, the better example you gave is Tomatoes
In my mind, I associate a still life with nature objects (dead flowers in a vase, fruits on a table, ...). Maybe I'm too classic ;-)
After some reflections, I agree with you Darryl. There is a place here for that new gallery!

Thought I would just help a nice neighbor find some images to move there Pierre, but I have a funny feeling you find great pleasure in this;-)

quite a few of the images in the new & permanent "photo-> general" galleries could fall into the "still life" gallery

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)
I think all the images in the general gallery need a more specific gallery...they just haven't found the proper home yet;-)

Ok. If there are no more objections, I'll create a 'Photography->Still life" gallery. We'll check it. If it doesn't work good enough, we can go back to the actual situation.
