Frosty, empty glass.
I came across a new photo challenge last week: Desley Jane’s Five Minutes challenge. “Choose a scene or an object and keep fixed on that object, and shoot for just five minutes. You can move around the object or scene but try not to interfere with it. See what happens in that five minutes, what changes, how the light changes, what comes into the frame or leaves the frame, or what other parts of the object you can focus on or use to your advantage.”
If you scroll down the page, you’ll certainly see what changed in these five minutes. 😉

Just poured and frothing over with enthusiasm.

Settling down nicely with a fine stream of beads, and a delicate mousse on the surface.

Sip!

Slurp!

Not much left now!

All gone. 😦
Why the pink straw? Well, how else could I drink the bubbly without picking up the glass and getting fingerprints all over it? But I’ll tell you, as “challenges” go, drinking a glass of sparkling wine — even a small glass, as this one is — in five minutes is no easy feat, and using a straw doesn’t make it any easier!

Jaunty pink straw in empty glass.
Ha! Love this! So clever to use the straw. And I LOVE that it’s pink. So glad that you joined in with your very special Five Minutes!!

Thanks! The package of straws contains many colours, but I tend to use up the pink ones first. I’m sure I’ll find other subjects for this new challenge, though not weekly.

I always use pink first!! Yes, you’d be surprised what you can find to spend 5 minutes with.

I was expecting a much more subtle change to the glass, the frost and its beading as I thought – aha she won’t be able to drink it as that’s interference. Nice work with the pink straw. You fooled me. 😉

hahaha! To be honest, I never even thought of the subtle approach.
