Capturing the still life

After lunch today, I forbade my fanny to sit down in my recliner. 

 Instead, I gathered up an assortment

of   items   stuff   junk and built a little 

make-shift studio near a window.

I love taking photographs. 

 I'm taking more and more of people, and even quite a few of landscapes and scenery,

 but my still lifes need some work.

I think I do pretty well composing  portrait shots and landscapes. 

 I really like that part of the process, about as much as the editing post-process.

With no people or spectacular scenery to practice on today, I played around with a still life shoot

Basic editing: sharpen, levels, white balance, repair background

Texture: "and then some" by Kim Klassen

Don't you just love seeing the progression from
 straight-out-of-the-camera to finished product? 

I have a few more examples hanging out in my photoshop project
 bin to share later.
