...oh look, it's one of those - and it's happening in one of them...

I'm sure that there will be a more suitable title for this shot out there somewhere but it eludes me at the moment...
Well the biscuits don't seem to be bothered by it! Creative set up

As much as I love this, I’d like to see a quarter inch you standing on that cookie, shaking a fist at that I’m...cloud. Because everything is better with you. :D
November 3rd, 2017  
Love it, you have the best imagination
November 3rd, 2017  
Tempest in a teacup :D
November 3rd, 2017  
yes...I like the storm in a teacup idea
November 3rd, 2017  
We have an English saying.....'Storm in a teacup'....for something that was threatened but did not in fact come about......
November 3rd, 2017  
So this is what you drink/eat to make you the way you are..... Looks about right to me. :)
November 3rd, 2017  
At first I thought Tempest in a Teacup - then I saw faces in the cloud shapes. That's - (almost said creepy) -
unmistakably Graeme. Fav
November 3rd, 2017  
Fantastic
November 3rd, 2017  
superb fav
November 3rd, 2017  
@jesperani Thanks very much :)
@deborah63 Thank you so much :)
@fotoblah Thank you very much - completely unintentional but yes, there are some there...
@novab It's a wicked wee brew ;)
@cutekitty We have that saying in what we New Zealanders like to call "English" as well...I just didn't want to call it that because...well, because I'm me ;)
@hrs It seems to work...
@northy I was thinking "biscuits on a plate"
@nicolecampbell Thank you so much :)
@ahleena You're one of the few people who would say everything is better with me...but thank you :)
@salza They were bothered when I ate them...
November 3rd, 2017  
Excellent Picture well done.
November 3rd, 2017  
@ianforbes Thank you kindly :)
November 3rd, 2017  
lots to admire here even outside the storm in the teacup. For example, the ruffles in the tablecloth.
November 3rd, 2017  
Yikes nicely creepy!
November 3rd, 2017  
Cool. A great way to get milk foam.
November 3rd, 2017  
@haskar The perfect cappuccino...
@radiogirl Thank you very much :)
@helenhall Thank you...that was my Aunty Kath's tablecloth...I have no idea how old it is but certainly pre WWII
November 4th, 2017  
Half eaten at that...
November 4th, 2017  
I admire the results you achieve without resorting to Photoshop... so glad you're back with us.
November 4th, 2017  
I really don't know how you do this, without PS. A lovely churning.
November 4th, 2017  
No photoshop? You have to be kidding
November 4th, 2017  
That photo explains a great deal. Perhaps a brew like that is what I need to pep up my golf.
November 4th, 2017  
@golftragic It would certainly shock you in to action...
@jgpittenger No photoshop...just a little bit of pic money for the lightening and rain, but the rest is one shot.
@rosiekerr Thank you very much...fun with cotton balls ;)
@vignouse Thank you sir - it just takes some thinking and plotting...which for me is half the fun :)
@northy I finished them off after the shot...waste not want not and all that
November 4th, 2017  
No title is a good as the shot, and having now seen the creative process, I fav.
November 4th, 2017  
I'd stay away from tea if this what I'd be served.
November 4th, 2017  
Wonderful shot, super title.
November 4th, 2017  
Really impressive, especially seeing the processing photo you posted. I can't figure out in picmonkey how you were able to localize the rain. Anyway, very creative and I liked seeing the processing page.
November 4th, 2017  
@taffy Thanks very much - there's an eraser tool in picmonkey...so when you first overlay the rain it covers the whole shot, then you spend about 2 months erasing what you don't want ;)
@lizhammond Thank you very much :)
@joysabin I think it might have a bit of a kick...
@jack4john Thank you very much :)
November 4th, 2017  
Excellent shot...perfect picture for a bedtime tale...a creepy story, the kind that scares the kids and makes the adult reader nervous too!
November 4th, 2017  
@tasian Thank you very much :)
November 5th, 2017  
Habe a feeling one of those poor biscuits has already succumbed...it's half finished poor thing...
November 5th, 2017  
How about 'Hallucination'? Or 'magical realism'? Or 'Just eat the damn biscuits'? Or 'Sod this for a game of soldiers I've got some proper photography to do'? :-)
November 5th, 2017  
Storms in tea cups are easily dealt with...... it's the storms in a C cup I have trouble with. :)
November 5th, 2017  
@swillinbillyflynn You're not wrong there!
@islambad If it's any comfort it was completely finished about 2 minutes after the shot was taken...
@yrhenwr "Proper Photography"? Pray enlighten me...
November 5th, 2017  
@graemestevens If it involves compooters it obviously ain't proper photography! Just like digitally controlled machines aren't proper machines! :-)
November 5th, 2017  
@yrhenwr What a load of pretentious arse-gravy.
November 5th, 2017  
@graemestevens Well aren't you just the defensive one today? But you must have failed to notice the smiley :-) :-) :-)
November 5th, 2017  
@yrhenwr I did actually see that but it wasn't enough to stop it from being pretentious arse-gravy. And as you're mildly concerned for my mental well-being, less defensive and far more a case of old enough to not be bothered about holding my tongue
November 5th, 2017  
I'm sure I would have found it fascinating even if I hadn't seen your 'behind the scene' post - but seeing how you did it... is so cool. Cleverly done but one still needs the mad skillz to make it look like that. I love it.
November 12th, 2017  
@kerosene Thank you very much...I think some of those "mad skillz" is just dumb luck ;)
November 13th, 2017  
Congrats on making the TT with this shot
November 13th, 2017  
awesome! congrats on TT-I had missed this shot earlier
November 13th, 2017  
crikey-just been reading through all the other comments-you must of spent hours on creating and editing this! high 5!
November 13th, 2017  
@tracie8266 Thank you so much :) About 30 minutes... @shepherdmanswife Thank you very much :)
November 14th, 2017  
A trifecta!! PP TP and TT Congratulations!
November 14th, 2017  
@grammyn Thank you very much :)
November 14th, 2017  
just saw this in top twenty, great storm!
November 14th, 2017  
@overalvandaan thank you very much :)
November 14th, 2017  
I thought this was so clever -- really glad to see it on TT!
November 15th, 2017
