26 January 2006

This one is for my friend Maria who brought me back real Columbian coffee from her trip to Columbia. Thanks, Maria, it's yummy! :)

Used my new "light-tent" again. For those of you who know me ... I have a pretty big coffee mug collection ... yet I failed to find a matte textured one that did not have a logo or text or something on both sides. So I finally settled on this one. Flipped the photo in post-processing so that the handle is actually to the right. Desaturated everything but blue, curves, levels, and I'm getting used to doing some little tweaks in RAW first, like getting the white balance just right.

nice shot..
the blue rim of the cup is different but looks a little weird..
like it does not belong.

Nice clean shot. I really like the simplicity.

The light tent is working! Nice minimal shot, and the absence of shadow makes it more pleasing for me. Good work!

Reminds me of the old Squeeze song. :-) Great processing. I really am in awe of the crispness and clarity of all your photos. All so simple, yet so elegant at the same time. Well, all except the spiderman photo. I don't think Spidey would like to be considered "Elegant" :-)
