Welcome to Araceli's Wiki page! =MY PRESENTATION= Hi Araceli-- Looks like you found some good information! one question you might want to answer about your sources is: Are they trustworthy/reliable? Also, can you please put the most recent Wiki entry at the top? Thanks :) Ms. Lona

=Intro:= Photography has been around over 200 years. According to TheDPhoto, photography for them is:


 * " **Still life subjects are probably the best way to go to enhance your photographic skills. Due to their –often- small sizes, you can experiment with different camera and compositional settings all you want, and you don’t even need –at least for the most part- to leave your house!"

In other words it mean's still photography can be done everywhere and can be anything. You have to open up your imagination and think of stuff, to capture. In the 1800's the Romans and Greek grouped small tiles to make up a picture. They used to call them Mosaics. They used "..opaque objects on leather treated with silver nitrate." Which makes the tiles shine when the light hits it. These pictures are made up of thousands of small colored tiles like today's pixel images. Now thank's to new technology you can see the pictures you have took and try taking different angles of the object. You can take picture of just anything. There is no right or wrong way to take a still life picture. Still life is used everywhere, you may have not notice, but the magazines you see or read are still life picture too. A still life photograph doesnt just have to be something that doesn't move, it could be a person to, without sudden movement. Still life photography can be done anywhere at whatever time. That's the reason why I like still life photography. It doesnt matter what you take a picture of. I could be taking pictures of just anything, but my all time favorite is to take picture of nature. Nature pictures are just so natural.
