Tea time

Tea pot and 'steam' was a long exposure of ten seconds at F11 and the lid was 1/10 second at F5 then stacked together. Taken stood on a piece of white paper on my dark blue stairs.

Cool image - nicely constructed! Like the use of paper - hugely underrated as a backdrop/surface!

Wonderful! I have a variety of snippets and odds and ends of different cloth (mostly remnants from the local cloth shop) which I use for backgrounds.
