27 Aug 2005 Abstract

one life one love *

This mug is actually black and white.
I performed desaturation step in PP, just to remove the 'milky' whiteness of the mug.

IMP: Please watch the image at 'Original' size. Other options are causing artifacts in the image.

CLICK HERE for my original shoot idea. i couldnt get the desired dof with s1 for obvious reasons, so used the d70.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thank you for the comments Techo. it was fun getting this shot, especially white on white background was the most difficult part. -Abstract
ps: I got this cup from uk (brand: 'churchill') earlier this year. tried to find it on the web for you, but couldnt. sorry.

Great job with lighting setup and composition!

aam, bingo...its the eye level view point that made me decide to chooze this shot over others from the batch.
Paul, i put my personal favourite message of the mug at 1/3 line from left and used the curved handle message for dynamic element. to enhance the effect, i kept right light closer to the cup than the left one.
thank you for comments. -Abstract

Excellent Abs, such a simple idea but it really grabs your attention because of the way you've angled the cup.

Found it! among other things, I like the eye level composition. Yes, that's it (for me).

Don't know what it is, but like this photo a lot. Maybe simplicity.
