As I was playing around with shadows and the lighting coming from the windows, I placed this mug, filled with water on the long table top and suddenly saw it from this vantage point. Naturally, I saw how the light's reflections and the shadows played on the mug and table's surface.
I then chose to position the mug partially against the window's lighting, hoping to show the mug's handle against the light, while making sure there is enough ambient light in the surroundings to form the shape of the mug. What I was trying to achieve here is to barely show the cup against the light and shadows.
Had it not been for the poster's slightly bluish hue, it could easily be mistaken for a black and white picture. As far as artistic methods go, I hope I've achieved something here, and am wondering if there is anything I still need to practice, experiment on or muster.
Should I have made the cup a bit more visible? Lessen the glare of the light in the background? I really don't know. I could try experimenting with the photo a bit... that's the advantage of digital pictures.
