Day 1 - A Family Portrait.

Is this the real life.
Is this just fantasy.
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
(Queen - Bohemien Rhapsody)

50mm 1.8 MKII, 580EX II on camera triggered off camera 420EX placed behind right as we are looking at it.

The concept started out as Poor Career choice with Wooden Coffee stirers representing the woodies family, a cute title did not come to mind. I started with a full length shot with entire mug in it but the mug became the subject and woodie became secondary, so I felt I had to come in close.

Some contrast adjustment, HighPass Sharpen and a slight Gaussian Blur layer on top to calm it down.
