20090201 - Teapot

For: Four Colour February

Well, it's 'blue'! Not sure I'm going to be able to cope with this challenge... and that's after only 1 day! lol

What I am chuffed with is the puff of 'steam', which is a bit of flare from the flash. It was coming out a bit 'gridded' due to the diamond-pattern of the lens of the flash-head, so I put a bit of paper tissue over it, you can sort of see the texture of that in it now.

No need to be "chuffed" about the steam ... it's fantastic!! Love the depth of blue in this shot, too. :-)

Hey, nice shot!

Nice pot. I like the steam puff.

If it's proving hard, you better go off and buy some blue paint!
J. Scott Coile02-Feb-2009 18:37
...short and stout... here is my handle, here is my spout :-)

Nice shot -- simple colours, and very nice use of depth of field. Well conceived (and you can even re-use it next week for "red" ;) ).
Guest 02-Feb-2009 15:55
I really like the combination of colours here with the red, blue and white!
Barbara Heide02-Feb-2009 10:00
nice colour contrast!

Sheila02-Feb-2009 00:34
Gorgeous teapot and what luck with the lens flare!
Sheena Woodhead01-Feb-2009 22:53
That's a very nice blue teapot!
Gail Davison01-Feb-2009 22:50
do you have any coffee? a perfect 'puff'. You are far too good at this. :o)
Richard Chapman01-Feb-2009 22:24
Lovely shade of blue. I have a blue teapot I was eyeing up earlier today as a possible subject for later in the week...
Johnny JAG01-Feb-2009 21:20
LOL @ Kevin and Chris
I can just see you doing the song and dance to go with it....
Mairéad01-Feb-2009 21:12
Nicely done, pretty teapot too.
JW01-Feb-2009 20:00
Great title! Nice shot and, er, puff! Nice to see someone else using a logical date format!
Chris01-Feb-2009 19:42
Apropos Kevin "--it also has a handle as well as a spout"!! Lovely pot. Chris
Jola Dziubinska01-Feb-2009 19:39
Very pretty and nicely presented.
Nicki Thurgar01-Feb-2009 18:41
I love teapots, this is a great one, love the puff!
jlm01-Feb-2009 18:24
A very british blue !
Dennis Warren01-Feb-2009 18:21
I'm a little intimidated too. Blue isn't to bad, red is ok but the yellow and green will be another story for me.
Máire Uí Mhaicín01-Feb-2009 18:04
That little textured puff of steam looks like a ghostly mini-golfball!
Kevin Chester01-Feb-2009 18:02
Thats remarkable, Its short as well as stout.
Doug Cruden01-Feb-2009 17:30
