Still Life Photography???

In all my trial and errors of learning what kind of photographer I wanted to be I would try my eye at still life photography.  I never really got into it but that didn't mean I didn't try it! LOL. I came across this pretty deer figurine and on a bright and sunny December day in upstate NY back in 2008 I took it outside, placed it in the grass, got down on my belly and gave it whirl.  I quickly discovered that getting into those positions were not easy or fun to do!   Although it looked like the grass was dry, it wasn't. I got up and was wet and muddy.  So much for outside still photography! Hats off to those photographers that are really good at it. If I do any still photography today... it would be indoors.
