"Unstill Life" - @Marilynne 's Choice

"Unstill Life, whatever that is.". This is wide open for the imagination to determine what exactly is "Unstill Life".

Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!


DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Jun 3

This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.

The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

A little over 19 hours before the start of the shoot and submit period for this Challenge.

It's a topic open to interpretation and only limited by imagination. Does it mean a Still Life that is not still or does it mean a Life that moves or does it mean something else entirely to you??

Normally I see the topic and get a few idea's straight away, but struggling for inspiration with this one.

Maybe I need to think out of the box.

To me, still life is of inanimate objects. I interpret "unstill life" as a still life shot with something alive in it. I could be waaaay off though!;)

My take on this subject...
I have often seen jellyfish marooned on the beach... usually small things less than fist size, but there were some big (couple of feet diameter) jellyfish in southern england this week... some marooned in the seaweed, some "swimming", but this one seemed trapped in the shallow waters. I hope this is classed as unstill life :)

After a bunch of ideas that didn't work, it was my wife, @Seanette, who suggested this box fan, by itself, which was an element from a previous failed idea.

1/80 of a second at ƒ/4.5, ISO 400. Light from an outside window, and a Sunpak auto 2000 DZ at full power, pointed straight up, with a towel over it, on rear-curtain sync. Stock 18-55mm lens at 30mm.
