My world view before 9am.

[FocalFrenzy]

I was bored and took this shot through the inside of my coffee mug. I'm surprised it turned out at all. Has anyone else taken a shot like this, or should I just "up" my meds and go back to bed? Thoughts on the shot?

This is really cool. The focus came out great for being through a coffee mug. I haven't ever taken a shot like this, but I'm going to try now. Great job.

I like it! My critique would be that perhaps there is a touch too much focus on the right of the image. Are those window blinds? If that were a touch more out of focus, it would convey more of a sense of tunnel vision.

To me the colour cast gives a sense of "overcast" or depression...

[peeperita]

haha....i like it....it's fun and it's different and by golly it's in focus too....

and besides, how do you go about critiquing a shot using this method....

thanks for making me smile....

atlas88, yes those are windowblinds. I was sitting at my dining room table and tookthe shot towards my kitchen. I was afraid that the shot would be too dark if I didn't include at least part of a window. I'm never depressed when looking through this mug. It means that I'm getting the cafein I so desperately need. Lol

Neat. Can we call this the "coffee mug filter technique"?

[FocalFrenzy]

Thanks for the feedback. I don't feel so stupid for trying this shot, now. I've always liked the way things looked through the bottom of this cup. I just never thought I could capture it in a way that others could appreciate. (or even like)
Whatever you decide to call this technique, is fine with me. Lol. I can't wait to see other atempts at similar shots. Thanks again.

Like it! I'm pretty new at photography and never saw anyone doing this before. Giong to try it for myself.

great shot! 1st to see this kind. really cool. it's like looking at an actual "no-coffee-yet-why do i have to get up early" dimension! thanks for sharing!
