"Just pour yourself a cup of coffee"

Coffee keeps me alive - it's good stuff!

Taken on a proper camera, on a proper tripod, and edited (although not much!) in proper Photoshop... Yeah, I'm really trying today!

However, despite really trying, the result is still pretty bad...

Proper camera? Proper tripod? Proper Photoshop?
Congrats! :D

@mizikei
Yep, proper everything...
Now that I look at it, though, it's still rubbish... :(

[Kerry Marsden]

I think it's awesome :D

@manek43509
It's not rubbish :)

@mizikei
It is! It looks OK in the thumbnail, but the full version is too grainy, especially in the shadows down towards the right... :/ Despite the fact that I took it with a proper camera, which usually takes very clear pictures, and I did spend quite a while setting up the lighting... Plus, the background tone is too dark - I was hoping it was going to be "whiter" than that...

And the only people who have bothered to look at it are you, and my sister - which kinda proves it! haha

I'm not sure why I'm tagging you... you get a notification anyway...
But whatever.
It has over 50 views. I'm pretty sure Kate and I haven't viewed it 50 times... :P
You could blur the background to make it look smoother?

@mizikei
Yes, but they ran away again pretty soon! haha
I wish I could... :/
