According to the National Day Calendar, National Read A Book Day is observed annually on September 6th.  On August 9th, we all celebrated National Book Lovers Day.  While these days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day invites us ALL to grab a book we might enjoy and spend the day reading.  

You can certainly do that... and show us what you are reading.

Or.. you can use the day to practice still life photography. Still life photography is all about light and composition. When you set up your scene, think about what kind of light you want. Side light? Back light? or Front Light? How you can place your objects to make them interesting? Do you want to have light and bright photos or dark and moody? Think about your background. Do you want it to be visible or faded out? 

How can you create a Still Life Photograph today that highlights a book?
