Tea party by vikdaddy

Tea party

I woke up feeling rough today. I didn't feel right, so I worked from home. Because of this I didn't feel like making much effort for today's photo, so I just grabbed my camera and took a few snaps of what was around me this evening. This was right in front of me.

I'm not sure what it is; I think I just like the curves in this picture and the way Suman's hand is 'posed'. I took this using my external flash again; I can't believe I went without one for so long! In post-processing I converted it to black and white.

I still don't feel 100% so I might work from home again tomorrow. We'll see how I feel when I wake up. I think the sudden change in season may have had something to do with it; I'm all achy and my head feels stuffy. This week I was thinking about looking for interest in the little things around me, like yesterday's handkerchief and breast pocket and today's picture. The way I feel today I think this is the ideal time for such photography.

Canon EOS 450D, f/5.6, 1/80, ISO-100
For someone who's ill, still an inspired shot, both crop and b/w mate, nice.

nice shot...very moody and expressive....

I like it. :) It's an intimate snapshot into a close conversation. I love the framing and the fact that her face has been left out of the shot - adds mystery.

this looks so elegant! Hope you're feeling better today....
October 27th, 2010  
It does have really great shapes to it! And the black and white processing really helps define it. Nicely done!
October 27th, 2010  
Agreed, the hands and the B&W work! Simple elegance
October 27th, 2010
