i've GOT to stop drinking coffee!!by
FranziskaLangComment by FranziskaLang: thanks for all your comments, i was quite pleased with the rating :) to reply to a couple of comments:
ssonnentag -- you are kind of right. it's actually not the white balance being off, but a reflection of that aweful pink carpet the previous owners put into our house. that was the only place with decent sunlight at the time. i retook this shot in a different spot many many many times, but still liked this one best.
gracious -- i was just trying to make fun of my coffee drinking habit. but you are absolutely right, i would not trash those mugs.
konador & hbunch -- i know some of it is a little bright, but i liked the high-key approach here better than the original photo (i'll post my outtakes on my website tonight) and it helped me to achieve that nice even background that i'm always so fond of.
gina -- i originally tried this with the mugs only in the trashcan, and decided it needed something to make the photo less stiff. i'll post an outtake w/out the extra mugs on my website tonight so you can see whether you still prefer it w/out the clutter.
count -- thanks, that was quite a compliment :)
aelith -- this is only a small part of my collection ...
seasick & unified_theory -- i must've missed the part of the challenge where it stated it had to be candid garbage ;)
