Photography : Photo Of The Week : #62 02.16.2003
 


There I was, just lounging on my couch, when I decided to take a quick shot from around the house.  There's not a lot to say about this shot.  It's a coffee cup from my cabinet.  The backdrop is just two sheets of copier paper.  I took about ten shots -- mainly just tinkering with my camera; white balance, manual/auto focus, etc.

I did some editing in Photoshop.  Mainly, I used the clone tool to clean up a few stray things in the image, like the seem where the two pieces of paper met, and a stray reflection on the cup's rim.  The shot -- having been shot in low light -- seemed to have quite a big of excess "noise."  A quick run through Bert's Noise Reduction Action took care of the noise in no time.
