I keep seeing images of flowers and plants within the APN (Animals, Plants & Nature) category, that actually belong in Still Life, and vice versa.
What is the difference you may wonder? Well, let's find out!
Photography > Still Life > Cut Flower and Plant Arrangements
Photographs taken with a film or a digital camera featuring a minimal amount of colour and exposure adjustment. Still life showcases studio-style photography that features inanimate objects. Arrangements of cut flowers and plants displayed for the purpose of being photographed.
Photography > Animals, Plants & Nature > Flowers & Plants
Photographs taken with a film or a digital camera featuring a minimal amount of colour and exposure adjustment. Photographs of animals, plants and nature including wild life, insects, domesticated animals, landscapes, flowers and plants. Photographs featuring plants, trees, flowers, mushrooms and so on.
The main difference is that APN shots are taken in nature, flowers and plants are in their natural habitat, be it a forest, a field or your mom's garden bed.
While still life shots may also be taken outside, in most cases these pictures are taken inside, at times even in a studio. Flowers and plants are being arranged before taking the picture. This can include flowers in a vase, laying on the ground, etc.

To sum up, if you pluck flowers or buy cut flowers, place them somewhere and take a picture, this should go in the Still Life gallery.
If you leave the flower where it belongs (on a plant, meadow, field, etc) and take a picture, this should go in the APN gallery.

Pastel Photography Contest
Definition pas·tel (pă-stĕl′): A soft delicate hue; a pale color.
I assume this theme is fairly self-explanatory :giggle:
Spring is here, and so are longer and brighter days - it's almost like nature is having a
bit of a revival. Everything is slowly turning colorful again and I would like to celebrate
that with a small contest. Seeing as my main medium is photography I have decided to
limit submissions to photography. No hard feelings, I have mad love for all you other
galleries too! :heart:
RULES:
:bulletwhite: Start date: Sunday, March 29th, 2014
:bulletwhite: Deadline for submissions: April 26th, 2014

Here are the rules:

That is all. :)
You have until May 16, 2013.
