Warm Beverage, Anyone?

Not having much of a chance to leave my apartment today, I had to find something indoors to help me get my daily photo.  Not being in the States, where I am surrounded by a lot of (interesting and more photogenic) crap, I am limited to the things I brought with me or purchased here.  Which really isn't much.

Luckily my wife is constantly drinking tea...and leaving her teacups where I stumble upon them and realize they are as good a subject as any.  Especially when you are going for an overexposed and washed out look (things with smooth surfaces are better for this (or so it seems)).

Starting June With an Abstract Day

I went with my sister, her fiance, and my mother to buy a suit for my sister's wedding.  It is rare that I am not in the driver's seat, so I took the opportunity to try something that I've never had much of a chance to try before.  Long exposure time from a moving vehicle.  My end result looks much like an abstract painting I did about a year or so ago.

An Abstract View out of a Window

I only post processed the image slightly...basically, I just warmed up the colors.  I love the single thin stripe of orange under the thicker whitish/bluish line.
